Steele is set to be recalled from Triple-A Iowa and start the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers with Alec Mills getting the nightcap after Monday's contest was rained out, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was previously reported that Steele would get the call from Triple-A Iowa to make his first MLB start Tuesday, but he'll now be doing so in a seven-inning game versus a nine-inning contest. The 26-year-old worked exclusively in relief while with the Cubs earlier in the season though he's been starting recently in Iowa, so he should be at least somewhat stretched out. Steele last started on Wednesday, when he allowed one earned run across five innings with eight strikeouts. It's unclear if he'll receive any more MLB starts beyond Tuesday, but he has a chance to stay in the rotation if he impresses. At the very least, Steele should be able to stick in the Cubs' bullpen as a long reliever given his 2.03 ERA, 1,05 WHIP and 21 strikeouts across 13.1 innings for Chicago this season.

Cubs manager David Ross said Steele would be called up from Triple-A Iowa to start Tuesday's game against the Brewers at Wrigley Field, Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Steele excelled across 11 relief appearances with the Cubs earlier this season (2.03 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, 21:7 K:BB in 13.1 innings), but the organization still wants to develop the 26-year-old lefty as a starter in the long term. Since being reinstated from the injured list and optioned to Triple-A in early July, Steele has impressed in his five starts for Iowa, compiling an 0.87 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 11.8 K/9 across 20.2 innings. The Cubs haven't indicated whether Steele will receive any additional starts beyond Tuesday, so he may need to turn in a quality outing against the Brewers to ensure he sticks in the rotation.

Steele (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list Thursday and optioned to Triple-A Iowa, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander has been on a rehab assignment with Iowa over the past couple weeks, and he'll remain with the minor-league club now that he's healthy. It's likely a temporary stay in the minors for Steele, who has a 2.03 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB across 13.1 innings for the Cubs this year.

Steele (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Iowa, Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Steele has been sidelined since May 21 with the injury and is set for his first game action since. It's unclear how long he'll need to ramp back up, but he should be activated by late June or early July assuming he has no setbacks.

Steele (hamstring) threw a 35-pitch bullpen Sunday and will be re-evaluated Monday, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Steele landed on the 10-day injured list May 21. The reliever appears to be nearing a return to the Cubs' bullpen, though it's not clear if the club intends on sending him on a rehab assignment before activating him.

Steele was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Steele was lifted from his outing Thursday against the Nationals with what was originally called hamstring tightness, but it appears that the issue is worse than originally reported. He'll sit for at least 10 days, and potentially more than that, as his strain is a moderate one, per Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times. Brad Wieck was recalled in a corresponding move.

The Cubs announced that Steele was removed from Thursday's game against the Nationals due to right hamstring tightness, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

After recording the final out of the fifth inning and then working a clean top of the sixth, Steele looked poised to come out for another inning, as he took an at-bat when his turn came up in the bottom of the sixth. He reached base on a fielder's choice, then appeared to tweak his lower leg at some point while running later in the inning. When Steele's hamstring caused him problems while warming up in the top of the seventh, the Cubs elected to pull him from the contest. Steele has emerged as a key multi-inning weapon out of the bullpen this season, so he would be a costly loss if the injury forces him to miss time.

Steele left Thursday's game against the Nationals with an apparent injury, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Steele allowed no hits and a walk while striking out three in 1.1 scoreless innings during Thursday's relief appearance, but he exited with a trainer while he was warming up for the seventh inning. The nature and severity of Steele's injury aren't yet clear.

Steele (1-0) earned the win during Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Dodgers after pitching a scoreless ninth inning, walking one and fanning two.

EDGE Analysis

Steele was coming off a woeful outing where he allowed three runs (and two homers) in just one inning at Cincinnati on May 2, but he bounced back quickly and recorded his first win of the season while shutting down the Dodgers in style. He tosses 11 of his 18 pitches for strikes and while this was an encouraging performance, Steele is expected to remain in a low-leverage role with the Cubs at least on a short-term basis.

The Cubs recalled Steele from their alternate training site Thursday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

He'll join the bullpen as a replacement for Brandon Workman, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. The 25-year-old lefty will likely work primarily in lower-leverage spots while he's up with the Cubs.
