So Justin went to visit Dr. Meister today in Texas.

He had not been feeling good over the course of the week

and finally felt something throwing this past weekend.

So he's been diagnosed with a flexor strain.

Basically going to reevaluate it in a month.

So it's a setback.

There's no question about it.

And it's going to lengthen his, you know, return to play.

That was Craig Counsel on Tuesday with our afternoon show, Spiegel and Holmes.

This is Rahimi Harrison Brodyie on 104-3 The Score.

And we already had discussed about how this might change the Cubs plans at the trade deadline.

For how long would Justin Steele be out when we thought that May or June, as he put it,

would have been the original timetable for a return.

And that is not happening now.

So when you're not even reevaluated for a month, that means you've got to stop all activity.

That by itself, Marshall, was not great.

Going back to yesterday, when we got this news and I started hearing what people were saying,

specifically Craig Counsel, which you just heard, it was like, I think we all need to get when we got this news and I started hearing what people were saying, specifically

Craig Counsel, which you just heard, it was like, I think we all need to get comfortable

with the idea that Justin Steele may not have an impact on this roster this season because

no one's healthy until they're healthy and he seems like he's a ways away from being healthy.

Well, and then there was the tweet that he posted.
