Justin Steele shines in short outing against Blue Jays
by Chris Schommer | Cubs Correspondent | Sun, Aug 18th 6:10am EDT
Justin Steele delivered an efficient performance on Saturday, holding the Blue Jays hitless over two innings while walking one and striking out three.
Fantasy Impact:
The left-hander did not factor into the decision as the Cubs edged out a 3-2 victory. Steele's brief but effective outing continues to solidify his role in a rotation that benefits from his consistent ability to suppress hits, as evidenced by his season-long 1.09 WHIP and low .268 BABIP. His 3.10 ERA and 3.33 FIP suggest that he's been effective at limiting damage and should remain a reliable option in fantasy lineups, particularly in formats that reward strikeouts and WHIP.
