Cubs injury updates: Justin Steele, Codi Heuer, more |
The Chicago Cubs provided some injury updates regarding several players on the team on Friday.
Here are the latest news: Standout Justin Steele had a successful bullpen session and is scheduled to start on Saturday against the Baltimore Orioles. This is huge news for the Cubs as Steele has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this season. He has a 6-2 record with a 2.65 ERA and 1.06 WHIP this season. Reliever Codi Heuer is set to play with the Iowa Cubs over the weekend. This indicates that Heuer is making progress in his recovery and is getting closer to returning to the Cubs. Reliever Dakota Hughes has resumed playing catch and is gradually building up his strength and working toward a full recovery. Edwin Ríos is DH again today for the Iowa Cubs during his rehab stint as he continues to make progress toward rejoining the Cubs.
