Cubs' Horton Seeks Second Opinion on Arm Injury

0:00On April 7th, Cubs Young Gunn Cade Horton is dealing with some arm trouble after a rough outing, and he's heading to see Top Doc Keith Meister for a second opinion today following that MRI. The 24-year-old Wrighty, who was runner-up for nationally rookie of the year last season, got placed on the 15-day injured list, no. Matter was, manager Craig Council confirmed imaging this weekend to get clearer answers, but it's already a headache for a rotation missing Ace Justin Steele. From last year's UCL surgery, and Jordan Wix II, Horton burst onto the scene as the 2022 number 7 overall pick, posting a solid 2.67 ERA over his first 100. 18 big league innings with sharp command that kept walks low. This year, he logged just seven and a third frames before trouble hit, giving up two runs. Chicago's God Matthew Boyd, Jameson Tylan, Shota Emanaga, and new guy Edward Cabrera holding it down, but depth is key with veterans like Colin Rea.

1:00Ready to step up from the pen? He crushed it last year in spots, or prospects like Ben Brown and Javier Assad waiting in triple A. Even a short miss from Horton stings early in the season, but the cubs have options to plug the gap and keep rolling without skipping a beat. That's your update from MLB News Today, powered by AI.
