The Cubs boast the NL’s best record at 6-2, but those wins haven’t come thanks to the bullpen. There’s already been one change to the roster, swapping out Dillon Maples in favor of Colin Rea, and it appears the team will be making another move prior to Sunday’s series finale with Pittsburgh.
According to Patrick Mooney of The Athletic, lefty Justin Steele will be added to the roster to bolster the relief corps. Though he’s been a starter to this point in his career, injury issues have limited Steele’s experience and could mean he’s better suited to a bullpen role moving forward.
