Fantasy Impact:

Steele’s 5 runs over 4 innings in Tokyo’s second game versus the Dodgers this week precede his March 27 start in Arizona, ahead of Jameson Taillon, for the Cubs’ home opener. The 29-year-old leads off. Fantasy managers in all leagues should roster him, banking on his arm for strong value in Chicago’s 2025 rotation if he sharpens post-Tokyo.
