News
	Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Justin Steele will not throw a ball for “multiple weeks." Ari Koslow Thu, May 28th	Latz has a 1.80 ERA this season and secured Wednesday's save by working around a leadoff single from Jac Caglianone with a ghost runner already on second base in the 10th inning. Bruno Mulé Thu, Jun 11th
	Justin Steele was cleared to begin strengthening exercises on Tuesday. Nicholas Rodriguez Wed, May 27th	Latz is 9-for-11 in save chances this season and has recorded a save in each of his last four outings, posting an 8:1 K:BB across 5.1 innings during that stretch. He entered Friday's game in the eighth inning and recorded the final six outs on 35 pitches — 21 for strikes. Bruno Mulé Sat, Jun 6th
	Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Justin Steele's flexor strain will keep him out of the rotation until after the All-Star Break. Ari Koslow Tue, Apr 28th	Latz has eight saves over his last 11 appearances and closed out consecutive games against St. Louis, adding Monday's to Sunday's. Bruno Mulé Tue, Jun 2nd
	Justin Steele suffered a setback in his recovery and has been shutdown. Ari Koslow Tue, Apr 28th	Latz has a 2.08 ERA and 0.62 WHIP across 26 innings this season, with a 5.5% walk rate and 25.3% strikeout rate backing his emergence as Texas' primary closer in late April. Sunday marked his seventh save of the campaign. Bruno Mulé Mon, Jun 1st
	Justin Steele told reporters he’s targeting a return to the Cubs’ rotation in May or June. Ari Koslow Sun, Mar 1st	Latz has made just three appearances over the past two weeks and Tuesday marked his first save in that span, though no Texas pitcher recorded a save during that stretch either. He remains the leading candidate for saves going forward. Bruno Mulé Wed, May 27th
