Justin Steele appears to have avoided a worst-case scenario.The Chicago Cubs received good news from Steele’s MRI with the lefty’s diagnosis of a forearm strain. It’s still unclear whether he will miss any starts, but the team does not anticipate an extended absence.Steele is scheduled to play catch Saturday to test his forearm.”I’m expecting it to go just as normal as any other day of catch,” Steele said. “Everything’s headed in the right direction.”The Cubs will see how Steele’s forearm responds before determining if he needs to go on the injured list. He would likely miss two starts, though the Cubs potentially could limit Steele to one missed start by rearranging the rotation with an off day June 12 at the conclusion of their 10-game West Coast trip. It’s an encouraging outcome for the 27-year-old who exited his start Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays after three perfect innings because of forearm tightness. St...Latest news
