Cade Horton Sidelined on Injured List Amid Cubs' Pitching Crisis

Cade Horton has been placed on the injured list, adding to the growing health concerns within the Chicago Cubs' starting rotation. His absence, which occurred just days before teammate Matthew Boyd also landed on the IL, has forced the organization to adjust its pitching depth. As a key part of the Cubs' future plans, Horton's health remains a priority while the team manages an increasingly injury-laden roster during the early stages of the 2026 campaign.
