"The news to this point is not good. I want to make sure I report it carefully here, because no decision has been made, but the MRI per multiple sources: 'not good, not clean.' And so he is going to see Dr. Keith Meister today, that's the Tommy John guy."
"If you absolutely refuse to fall down the pit of despair, I can offer you only this: SOMETIMES, Dr. Meister has prescribed a PRP injection instead of surgery. But that's about the absolute best case scenario at this point, and even that isn't a great sign."
"Cade Horton could still have a long, fantastic career, but in terms of this season, this is going to sting ... BAD. He is easily the most important pitcher."
Cade Horton, a key pitcher for the Cubs, received troubling MRI results indicating significant issues with his right forearm. He is scheduled to see Dr. Keith Meister, known for handling Tommy John surgeries. While there is a slim chance he may avoid surgery through alternative treatments like a PRP injection, the overall outlook remains grim. Even if surgery is not required, recovery could still take a long time, as evidenced by Justin Steele's prolonged absence from the game. This situation poses a significant setback for the Cubs this season.
