## Resource

The Chicago Cubs got back in the win column—but not without some concerning news. Justin Steele has suffered a setback in his return to the mound when Craig Counsell announced he was diagnosed with a flexor strain, raising new questions about the timeline for one of the Cubs’ most important arms. On top of that, Dansby Swanson exited last night’s game with a left glute injury, leaving fans holding their breath as the team awaits further updates. Despite the adversity, the Cubs found a way to respond. Pete Crow-Armstrong came through in a HUGE moment, blasting a clutch three-run homer to help snap the team’s three-game losing streak and shift the momentum back in Chicago’s favor as they go for the series win this afternoon in San Diego. In this video, we break down: The latest on Justin Steele’s setback and what it means moving forward What we know about Dansby Swanson’s injury PCA stepping up when the Cubs needed it most, will his early season slump finally end? Can the Cubs overcome these injuries and build off this much-needed win? 312 SPORTS PRO SHOP:  https://bit.ly/4e7bqyv The Best Replacement Windows And Doors At The Best Price.  Chicagowindowguys.com Make sure to subscribe to... ✅ Dan Bernstein Unfiltered ✅ Forward Progress - A Chicago Bears Podcast 🏈 ✅ Organization Win Championships: A Chicago Bulls Podcast 🏀 All links to YouTube, Apple, Spotify and more available on 312Sports.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .
