The injury bug is starting to hit the Chicago Cubs.
Starting pitcher Justin Steele is seeking a second opinion while dealing with an elbow injury. The Cubs are not sure if Steele will need Tommy John surgery, a procedure he underwent in 2017.
On Saturday night, the Cubs lost an outfielder in their contest against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
