Fantasy Impact:
Steele was limited to four starts last season before going under the knife in mid-April. The lefthander went 3-1 with a 4.76 ERA prior to the injury. Steele finished fifth in the NL Cy Young voting in 2023 after going 16-5 with a 3.06 ERA in 30 starts with the Cubs. With Chicago's deep rotation, it is expected that the team will be cautious with Steele's timeline and he may end up on a season-long innings restriction. But, his imminent return will be a welcomed sight.
