"Cade Horton had surgery yesterday and needed the full Tommy John. 15-16 month recovery."
"The UCL revision component there is, effectively, a full-on second Tommy John surgery. Adding the internal brace can help the success and durability of the new elbow setup after the return."
"If you want to be overly rosy about it, you say to yourself that... the most important thing might be the second-half/postseason innings Horton might contribute next year anyway."
"If you are less rosy, you feel the sting of losing Horton for all of the 2026 regular season, all of the 2026 postseason, a majority of the 2027 regular season."
Cade Horton had UCL revision surgery, which is akin to a second Tommy John surgery. The procedure includes an internal brace to enhance recovery. The expected recovery timeline is 15-16 months, pushing his return to competitive play to mid-2027. This means Horton will miss the entire 2026 season and most of the 2027 season. While there is hope for a late-season return, the reality is a significant loss for the team during this period.
