Cubs' Updated Starting Pitching Rotation After Cade Horton Injury

Cade Horton is the latest Cubs starting pitcher to land on the injury list this season. The National League Rookie of the Year runner-up will be undergoing surgery to repair the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, forcing him to miss the rest of the 2026 season.

Horton exited Saturday’s 1–0 Chicago win over the Guardians in the second inning after dealing with right forearm discomfort. On Sunday, it was announced he’d be landing on the 15-day IL. Two days later, manager Craig Counsell confirmed that Horton would be undergoing season-ending surgery.
