Steele (elbow) believes he will require only a minimum 15-day stay on the injured list, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Scouting Report

Boasts three pitches with the potential to become quality offerings: fastball, curve and changeup. Also displays a very projectable (6-2) frame and plenty of athleticism on the mound. Is still quite raw and unrefined as a pitcher, so he needs to learn how to repeat his delivery and set up batters better in order to maximize output at the highest level. Needs to add bulk.

Long Range Potential: Raw, talented left-hander with upside.
