Stumbles in sixth inning Steele allowed three runs on nine hits and no walks while striking out five batters over six innings in a no-decision against Milwaukee on Wednesday.

Impact Steele was excellent through five innings, giving up just one run on five hits. However, he served up a leadoff homer to Willy Adames in the sixth, then allowed one more run on three additional hits over the remainder of the frame. Steele was able to finish the sixth to notch the quality start, and a late Chicago comeback ensured that he didn't take the loss. This was just the fourth time in 16 starts this season that the southpaw has allowed three or more earned runs, which is a testament to how solid he's been overall. Steele ranks sixth among qualified MLB pitchers with a 2.56 ERA and is tied for ninth with 11 quality starts.

Six strikeout in scoreless outing Steele (9-2) earned the win Friday, allowing three hits and one walk over 6.1 scoreless innings against Cleveland. He struck out six.

Impact Steele plunked the first batter he faced and followed that up by committing a throwing error while trying to start a routine double-play, brining Jose Ramirez to the plate with runners on first and second and no outs. However, the left-hander proceeded to retire the next three batters, including strikeouts of Ramirez and Josh Bell, to escape the first and then put on cruise control. The left-hander's scoreless outing lowered his ERA to 2.43, which is the best mark the National League, and he sports a solid 76:19 K:BB across 85.1 innings. Steele has emerged as a workhorse at the top of Chicago's rotation this year, and his next start is lined up for a divisional matchup in Milwaukee.

'Old Rivalry, New Ground' Turns Into Runaway Cubs Win in London Justin Steele was excellent on the mound and Ian Happ continued his hot hitting to lift the streaking Cubs over the Cardinals.

JUNE 24, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Cruises to eighth win in London Steele (8-2) allowed one run on five hits across six innings to earn the win Saturday against the Cardinals. He walked one and struck out eight.

Impact The Cubs jumped out to a 7-0 lead in London and that was more than enough for Steele, who picked up his second straight win since returning from the injured list due to a forearm strain. The lefty is building on last season's breakout campaign, as he now has a stellar 2.62 ERA and 1.06 WHIP across 79 innings this season. Steele will look to keep rolling in his next outing toward the end of next week once the team returns from across the pond.

Earns seventh win in return Steele (7-2) earned the win Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits with one walk over five innings against the Orioles. He struck out four.

Impact Steele held the Orioles scoreless until the fifth inning when Adley Rutschman took him deep to drive home Austin Hays and tie the game at 2-2. He would make it out of the inning without allowing anymore damage, and the left-hander still managed to earn the win thanks to Chicago's offense immediately responding with a go-ahead run in the bottom of the inning. It was a solid performance for Steele in his return from the 15-day injured list (forearm) and he now sits at seven wins on the season behind a very strong 2.71 ERA.

Activated ahead of start The Cubs reinstated Steele (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Saturday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Steele landed on the injured list June 3 (retroactive to June 2) and will return to the mound Saturday against Baltimore after a minimum IL stint. Steele has been solid all season; however, he's been rather inconsistent as of late, allowing five earned runs in two of his last four starts while shutting out opponents during the other two.

JUNE 17, 2023 • DEADSPIN.COM

Cleared to start Saturday Steele (forearm) will rejoin the Cubs' rotation Saturday against the Orioles, Jared Wyllys of AllCHGO.com reports.

Impact Steele got through a bullpen session Thursday without any hiccups, officially clearing the way for his activation from the injured list. The left-hander will be returning when first eligible and skipping a rehab assignment, so it's possible he won't quite be ready for a full workload against Baltimore. Steele posted a 2.65 ERA in 12 starts before going down with a left forearm strain.

Throwing side session Tuesday Steele (forearm) is throwing a bullpen session Tuesday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact Steele appears to be tracking toward a return from the 15-day injured list when first eligible this Saturday against the Orioles, assuming the Cubs aren't going to ask him to make a minor-league rehab start. The 27-year-old has progressed without issue so far in his recovery from a mild left forearm strain.

JUNE 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Aiming for June 17 return Cubs manager David Ross said Wednesday that Steele (forearm) is on track to return June 17 against the Orioles, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact That is the exact date that Steele will first become eligible to be activated from the 15-day injured list. He was diagnosed late last week with a left forearm strain, but it's considered relatively minor and he is set to throw a "touch-and-feel" side session Wednesday, per Ross. The 27-year-old southpaw had worked to a sharp 2.65 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 58:16 K:BB through 12 starts (68 innings) prior to the IL stint.
