Mar 27, 2025; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; Chicago Cubs pitcher Justin Steele (35) pitches against the Arizona Diamondbacks during the first inning at Chase Field. Mandatory Credit: Joe Camporeale-Imagn Images Chicago Cubs ace left-hander Justin Steele underwent elbow surgery on Friday, he announced on social media.
Post-surgery, he posted a smiling photo on X from his hospital bed, his arm heavily wrapped and resting on a pillow.
“Appreciate the prayers and thoughts.. God is good,” he captioned the photo.

Earlier in the day, he wrote this:
“Surgery today. Just wanted to take some time to say thank you to everyone who has sent their thoughts and prayers. Truly means the world to me at the number of people who have reached out to my family and me. It’s appreciated beyond belief. I’ll be back soon and better than ever.”
Steele, 29, beat the Cubs to the announcement on Friday. It was known he would have reconstructive elbow surgery and miss the rest of the season, but it was unclear immediately if he had Tommy John surgery or a partial repair.
Steele is two years removed from being an All-Star selection and finishing fifth in National League Cy Young Award voting in 2023, when he went 16-5 with a 3.06 ERA in 30 starts.
Steele was 3-1 through four starts this season, with a 4.76 ERA and five home runs allowed through 22 2/3 innings. His last outing on April 7 saw him toss seven shutout innings with eight strikeouts and just three hits against the Texas Rangers.
In five seasons with the Cubs, he is 32-22 with a 3.30 ERA in 102 games (91 starts), tallying 517 strikeouts and 155 walks in 506 2/3 frames.

Cubs reportedly signing Carlos Santana, officially add pitcher Aaron Civale off waivers

Pozor, pálí oslavenec Rrahmani! Kanonýr Sparty je ve formě, do kabiny donesl dobroty
V neděli oslavil kosovský forvard 25. narozeniny. A stylově. Od začátku byl nebezpečný. Možná některá přečíslení nevyřešil tak, jak si situace žádala, vše ale splatil později. Nejprve ve 31. minutě, kdy si při rohu Kaana Kairinena naběhl na přední tyč a levačkou překonal Stanislava Dostála.Druhý zásah přidal přibližně po hodině hry. Tentokrát si za vápnem navedl míč na svou silnější pravačku a poslal balon nechytatelně k přední tyči. V tu chvíli zvyšoval na 3:0.Možná je to náhoda, ale 31. srpna se prosadil i minulý rok, kdy pomohl gólem a asistencí k triumfu 2:0 v Hradci Králové. No a rok 2023? To ještě oblékal dres Rapidu Bukurešť a 1. září se dvakrát se trefil v městském derby proti Dinamu.V aktuální sezoně pod staronovým koučem Sparty Brianem Priskem pookřál. Už má na svém kontě osm branek. Z toho pět ligových, v nejvyšší soutěži se aktuálně dělí o první příčku s Matějem Vydrou z Plzně.

Miami vs. Notre Dame live updates: Follow latest from today’s College Football Week 1 game
How important is Sunday night’s showdown with sixth-ranked Notre Dame for Mario Cristobal’s reputation as a game day coach? A win would certainly help his and Miami’s record against AP Top-25 opponents.Since taking over for Manny Diaz in 2022, the Hurricanes have gone 1-6 against ranked opponents under Cristobal, who was 7-6 against ranked foes at Oregon from 2018-21. Miami’s only win to this point over a ranked team under Cristobal was a 48-33 shootout victory over No. 23 Texas A&M on Sept. 9, 2023. Last season, the Hurricanes went 10-3, only the second double-digit win season since Miami joined the ACC in 2004. Miami lost its only game against a ranked opponent last season to Iowa State in the Pop Tarts Bowl.Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman is 14-5 against AP Top 25 opponents, including six wins last season before […]

Jack Grealish and the picture that sums up what he means to Everton
The picture above, taken shortly after Everton’s 3-2 win at Wolves on Saturday, encapsulates the positive mood around the Merseyside club right now.Fresh from another match-winning turn, Jack Grealish was pulled into, and almost subsumed by, the waves of blue-clad supporters in the away end. “It was like a UFC chokehold,” Grealish said later. “Bless them, it was unbelievable. That’s what it’s about.” For the third time in a week, chants of ‘Super Jack’ were audible as the 29-year-old made his way off the Molineux pitch.AdvertisementSoon after, Bryan Adams’ Summer Of ’69 could be heard blasting out from the Everton dressing room. Grealish strolled around the tunnel area, shirt off, still revelling in this latest triumph. It is still early days in his season-long loan from Manchester City, but he appears to have regained the confidence and purpose that helped […]
