"Everywhere the Cubs have turned lately, there has been bad pitching news, including elbow/forearm injuries and freak injuries, yet they keep finding ways to win."
"The Cubs went to the West Coast and squared off against the reigning two-time champs and another contending team, proving they can hang with the best."
"The news about Justin Steele's flexor strain was a tough mental blow for the Cubs, as he was expected to return soon and bolster the rotation."
The Cubs have faced numerous pitching injuries recently, including issues with Cade Horton, Ethan Roberts, Riley Martin, Phil Maton, Caleb Thielbar, and Justin Steele. Despite these setbacks, the team managed to finish a challenging West Coast road trip with a 3-3 record. This performance demonstrated their ability to compete with top National League teams. The news of Justin Steele's flexor strain, which will keep him out until at least the All-Star Break, adds to the team's challenges but does not diminish their recent successes.
