Cubs notes on Christopher Morel's hot bat, Justin Steele's return, Dansby Swanson's errorless streak and more by JDietzSports.
Morel is now riding a six-game hitting streak in which he's gone 11-for-22 with 2 home runs and 8 RBIs. This after going 1-for-28 in the previous 10 games.
Morel has 12 home runs in only 103 at-bats this season, which is 1 HR every 8.58 at-bats -- better than anyone who has 12 or more HRs. Steele ready to return: Justin Steele will come off the injured list Saturday and start against Baltimore at Wrigley Field. Steele has been on the injured list with a left forearm strain since June 1.
Shhh! Dansby Swanson had an understandable reaction when told he's closing in on the record for longest errorless streak in team history by a shortstop.
