Chicago Cubs DFS SPIN
Justin Steele walked four and yielded three runs in three innings Sunday against the Pirates. Steele shut out the Brewers for five innings in his first start, but he’s since given up nine runs and walked nine in 10 innings. The Cubs could send him to the bullpen or even the minors once Alec Mills comes off the IL.
Milwaukee Brewers DFS Spin
Luis Urias (quad) will remain on his minor league rehab assignment with Double-A Biloxi through the weekend and then be re-evaluated on Sunday. Urias has already played four games (15 at-bats) as he works his way back from a left quad strain. After another three games over the weekend, it’s possible that the Brewers deem him ready to join the big league club for next week. Either way, a return looks to be imminent and Urias should be scooped up off of waivers if he’s lingering out there in deeper mixed leagues.
