It’s a tough situation for the Craig Counsell's Chicago Cubs, who now have to move forward without one of their most “irreplaceable” arms in the rotation, as he prepares to undergo surgery to repair his injured elbow.

According to manager Craig Counsell via Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network, designated hitter Seiya Suzuki is day-to-day with a wrist injury: It appears that Suzuki and the Cubs have avoided the worst-case scenario with this injury, and the talented 30-year-old should be back in the lineup within the next week.

Chicago Cubs ace Justin Steele will undergo season-ending surgery to repair the flexor tendon in his left elbow, dealing a significant blow to the team’s rotation.
