EDGE Analysis

Steele is competing for a spot at the back of the Cubs' rotation, so performances like this are very useful. Keegan Thompson is also in the mix for the No. 5 role, as is the newly signed Drew Smyly. Steele appeared in 20 games for Chicago last season, starting nine of them, and registered a 4.26 ERA across 57 innings of work.
