Cubs ace Justin Steele in line to return Monday from hamstring injury

Associated Press  

CHICAGO — Cubs ace Justin Steele is just about ready to return to Chicago’s rotation after being sidelined since the season opener because of a strained left hamstring. Steele is on track to start Monday against San Diego, assuming he gets through one more bullpen session with no issues, manager Craig Counsell said Friday. “I was super anxious about opening day, just everything around it, first game of the year, first opening day for me and then obviously got hurt,” Steele said. I’m more excited just being back up with the guys.” Kyle Hendricks will start Tuesday for Triple-A Iowa, Counsell said.
