""It's a setback, there's no question about it, and it's going to lengthen his return to play," Counsell said."
""You have to look at this as a positive. Like, we didn't get news that Justin is out for the year. He's got an opportunity to pitch for the Cubs this year...""
""It's going to be a little later now than we were planning on it, but it's still going to happen. So, that's how I'm looking at it.""
Justin Steele has been diagnosed with a flexor strain and will not be throwing for the time being. Manager Craig Counsell indicated that Steele's return to play will be delayed, with a re-evaluation scheduled in a month. Although the original target for his return was late May, that now seems unlikely. Counsell emphasized a positive outlook, noting that Steele still has the opportunity to pitch later this season, despite the setback. The Cubs are hopeful for a second-half return without further complications.
