Justin Steele Cleared by Doctors; Eyes May–June Return

Justin Steele said doctors cleared him and he expects a May–June return. In 2025 he went 3–1 with a 4.76 ERA and 21 strikeouts in 22⅔ innings. A 2023 All-Star, Steele’s lefty swing-and-miss arsenal and innings-eating ability stabilize the Cubs’ rotation; his midseason return would restore frontline depth and boost Chicago’s playoff hopes and reduce bullpen strain late in games.
