Cade Horton Out 15-16 Months After Second Tommy John Surgery

Chicago Cubs pitcher Cade Horton is expected to miss 15 to 16 months after undergoing a successful ulnar collateral ligament revision on Thursday. This procedure marks the second Tommy John surgery for the 24-year-old, who previously had the operation in 2021 while at Oklahoma. The lengthy recovery timeline means Horton will remain sidelined through most of the 2026 and early 2027 seasons as he rehabilitates from this significant elbow injury setback.
