Cubs' Justin Steele leaves start with left forearm tightness

CHICAGO -- Cubs starter Justin Steele left Wednesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays after three innings because of left forearm tightness.

Steele retired all nine batters he faced.

He got a visit from manager David Ross and an athletic trainer with one out in the third.

Steele retired the next two batters, with third baseman Patrick Wisdom making a lunging stab on Taylor Walls' line drive foul and stopping Jose Siri's hard grounder before throwing him out.

Hayden Wesneski came in to start the fourth inning.
