Chicago Cubs pitcher Justin Steele will be out for several days, as the team placed him on the injured list Wednesday afternoon.
Steele was scratched from his start Tuesday after suffering elbow trouble, and now he will be shelved for at least another start or two, according to the team.
Officially, Steele was diagnosed with tendinitis in his left elbow and will miss several starts during the season stretch.
A corresponding move has not yet been announced.
In 22 starts this season, Steele has posted a 5-5 record and a 3.09 ERA, with 131 strikeouts and a career-best 1.09 WHIP.
He had originally been scheduled to start Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates, and was also slated to start Monday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Cubs will conclude their series against the Pirates on Wednesday night, and will then welcome the New York Yankees to Wrigley for a series that begins on Friday afternoon.
