Justin Steele Undergoes Elbow Surgery, Out for 2025 Season

Steele has a record of 3-1 this season with an ERA of 4.76 over 22 2/3 innings. His absence means that other starting pitchers like Jameson Taillon and Shota Imanaga might take on more responsibility.

Steele's performance at home has been strong, with a home ERA of 0.00 and a K/9 of 10.3. His injury could impact the Cubs' pitching depth, as Steele was a key part of their rotation.
