SAN DIEGO (TNS) — The Chicago Cubs expected to get a boost sometime in the next few weeks with the return of left-hander Justin Steele.

However, a setback during the build-up process has significantly pushed Steele’s original timeline for his comeback from last April’s left elbow surgery. Steele has been diagnosed with a flexor strain and will be re-evaluated in one month, manager Craig Counsell said Tuesday.
