2 years agoChicago Cubs left-hander Justin Steele (back) was placed on the 15-day injured list on Monday, with the move being retroactive to Sept. 2. The earliest he can return will be on Sept. 17. Steele hasn't pitched for the Cubs since Aug. 26, also being put on the restricted list because of his vaccination status for a series in Toronto against the Blue Jays. With the 27-year-old on the shelf, pitching prospect Hayden Wesneski was called up from Triple-A Iowa and is a leading candidate to start this weekend against the San Francisco Giants in his MLB debut. Steele has been solid in 2022, going 4-7 with a 3.18 ERA (3.20 FIP), a 1.35 WHIP and a 126:50 K:BB in 119 innings pitched over his 24 starts.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
