The Cubs will be traveling to Toronto for a three-game series that begins tomorrow, though left-hander Justin Steele<\/strong> and right hander Adrian Sampson<\/strong> will not be making the trip. They will instead be placed on the restricted list, tweets Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago<\/a>. That’s standard procedure for players unvaccinated against COVID-19, as current health restrictions prevent such individuals from crossing the American-Canadian border.<\/p>\n Normally, the club wouldn’t be able to make corresponding moves right away, as league rules dictate starting pitchers aren’t eligible to be replaced until four days after they last pitched in these circumstances. Sampson started today’s game, though Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune tweets<\/a> that he will indeed be eligible to be replaced due to having thrown less than four innings today. Steele, on the other hand, threw 5 1\/3 innings on Friday, meaning the Cubs should be able to bring in someone else to take his spot by Tuesday.<\/p>\n
