The Cubs put Justin Steele on the 15-day IL Wednesday with what they called left elbow tendinitis.
“We’re going to take the conservative route here,” manager Craig Counsell said. “He had symptoms of an injury that he experienced last year, and for that reason, rather than having him focus on his next start, think it’s just best that we back off that and make sure he recovers in a really good place. We’re hoping it’s the minimum and he can be ready to go in a couple weeks.
