% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


The Chicago Cubs have been tested with their pitching depth, but the concerns have been realized. After seeing young star starting pitcher Cade Horton leave with an injury, there has been an update about his injury. Look away Cubs fans, as the fears have been realized. Let’s take a look at what the injury is and what it means for him and the Cubs moving forward.

The sports doctors on social media were correct, as Horton’s elbow injury was what people expected. Cubs manager Craig Counsell spoke to the media ahead of Tuesday’s game and confirmed Horton will undergo surgery on his UCL. This is a major blow to the Cubs’ rotation, which is already dealing with Matthew Boyd on the Injured List. Their depth will be tested as they also wait for Justin Steele to return from his injury last season.

Horton was expected to be a major piece for Chicago’s starting rotation for the 2026 season and beyond. It will be interesting to see if either Javier Assad or Colin Rea remains in the rotation for the rest of the year.  The 24-year-old righty finishes his season going 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA and a 0.82 WHIP in 7.1 innings. Chicago has already used four prospects to acquire Edward Cabrera during the offseason, so it will be intriguing to see what general manager Jed Hoyer and the front office decide to do. With the franchise positioned to be in a window to be a serious contender, this is a massive blow to their chances of being in the World Series.

Chicago still has some talent who can help lessen the blow from this injury. However, Horton was expected to be a top-of-the-rotation arm taking the ball every fifth day.
