MILWAUKEE – The way the Cubs reacted to Justin Steele’s back tightness Saturday, and their plan for him moving forward, is part of an approach to get him and Keegan Thompson through what is shaping up to be the longest season of their professional careers.
“He feels fine,” Cubs manager David Ross said of Steele Saturday. “I think it really was just some low back tightness, whatever that was from. We’ll get through Toronto, we’ve got an off day after Toronto. We’ll probably reassess the rotation, just try to line things up where everyone gets the proper amount of rest.
