Steele allowed four runs on five hits across 3.2 innings and did not factor into the decision in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Rockies. He walked two and struck out five.
Steele had his start postponed Tuesday night due to inclement weather, and the extra day didn't do the lefty any favors, as he had his worst outing since joining the Cubs' rotation earlier this month. With Adbert Alzolay (hamstring) still on the injured list and Jake Arrieta no longer with the team, Steele should continue to start, and his 4.15 ERA overall is respectable despite Wednesday's hiccup. He's currently lined up to take the mound again Tuesday against the Twins.
