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

EDGE Analysis

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 is 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.
