"Cade Horton will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament. Whether this is another Tommy John ligament replacement or an internal brace procedure is not yet known."
"If he's able to go the internal brace route, his return timeline could be shortened by several months. A full reconstruction would likely see him miss most of next season."
"The Cubs will move forward with Colin Rea and Javier Assad filling in for Horton and Matthew Boyd, whose bicep strain is expected to keep him out for minimal time."
"While their internal options are strong, the Cubs could look to add to the staff for more depth. Lucas Giolito's name has come up with varying degrees of speculative credence."
Cade Horton is set for season-ending surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament. The type of surgery, either a Tommy John replacement or an internal brace procedure, remains undecided. An internal brace could shorten his recovery, while full reconstruction may sideline him for most of next season. The Cubs will rely on Colin Rea and Javier Assad in his absence. Despite concerns, the team remains optimistic about Horton's future. They may also consider adding depth to their pitching staff, with Lucas Giolito's name mentioned as a potential target.
