I’m still hoping there’s a late inning leverage arm with Steele. Any reason he went almost 3 weeks between outings? Today was his first appearance since really early April.

He missed his regularly scheduled second start of the season after being listed as the probable starter and was out till yesterday so I can only assume injury.

 

With the innings and time lost due to injury and not necessarily having a high starter ceiling, I think the bullpen is his likeliest final destination too.
