Cubs Announce Cade Horton Update
During their series with the Yankees, the Cubs announced the latest update on Cade Horton.
He is out for the remainder of the 2026 season (since getting injured on April 3).
MLB.com wrote (on August 1): “Underwent a right UCL revision repair with an internal brace on April 16. Timetable for return is estimated around 15-16 months. Joined Cubs in Chicago on July 31 to take a break from being in Arizona and be around team while rehabbing.”
Horton had appeared in just two games this season.
Looking At Horton’s Career
Horton was the 7th pick in the 2022 MLB Draft out of Oklahoma.
He has spent two seasons in the MLB (all with the Cubs).
As a rookie, Horton went 11-4 with a 2.67 ERA in 23 games (22 starts).
Whenever the Cubs are able to get Horton back, he will provide a huge boost to their pitching staff.
At just 24, he has the potential to be a star.
