Horton averaged 93.4 mph (touched 94.9 mph) with his fastball in his first start for Triple-A Iowa on May 4 and averaged 93.9 mph (touched 95.5 mph) in his second start May 10 after sitting at 95-97 mph with his fastball and regularly touching 98 mph in 2023. This doesn't necessarily mean Horton is dealing with anything physically, but it's worth noting that he's not working with the same caliber stuff as was advertised during the offseason. Horton had a 1.10 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and an 18:2 K:BB in 16.1 innings across four starts in a return assignment to Double-A Tennessee before getting promoted to Triple-A at the end of April. He has given up eight earned runs on seven hits, eight walks and two home runs while striking out 11 in seven innings through his first two starts at the highest level of the minors. Since Triple-A pitch velocities are public, it's worth keeping tabs on Horton's pitch velocities over his next few outings to see if things keep trending up. This is also Horton's first experience with the automated balls and strikes system at Triple-A, so perhaps that's partly to blame for his elevated walk rate.... See More ... See Less

Cubs' Cade Horton: Missing bats at High-A
Horton has a 3.89 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and a 28.7 K-BB% in nine starts (39.1 innings) for High-A South Bend. The No. 7 overall pick in last year's draft, Horton made his first four pro starts at Single-A before quickly getting the bump to High-A in early May. With a slew of promotions and graduations, Horton has a case as one of the top five pitching prospects left in the minors. He has given up five or more earned runs in two of his nine starts at High-A, but he had a dominant seven-start run from May 17 through June 29, logging a 1.76 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 49 strikeouts in 30.2 innings. Given his age (turns 22 in August) and pedigree, Horton should soon get a promotion to Double-A Tennessee.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Cade Horton: Bumped to High-A
Horton will make his High-A debut Wednesday after logging a 1.26 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 21 strikeouts in 14.1 innings across four starts for Single-A Myrtle Beach. The No. 7 overall pick in last year's draft, Horton has one of the best sliders in the minors and was overmatching Single-A hitters in his pro debut. He could feasibly climb beyond High-A this season if he stays healthy, but injuries limited him to 53.2 innings at Oklahoma, so his workload will be monitored.... See More ... See Less

Meghan Montemurro@M_Montemurro56S agoKyle Hendricks comes in from the bullpen to start the 8th. He gets the Braves' 8-9-1 hitters as Cubs trail 1-0. This is only 3rd time in 11 seasons & 267 MLB games that Hendricks is pitching in relief. The others: July 7, 2016 vs. ATL and Oct. 2, 2018 in the NL Wild Card game.

Meghan Montemurro@M_Montemurro1H agoCubs just posed this question on the video board: Is it OK to put ketchup on a hot dog? Hendricks, Swanson, Gomes and Amaya all said they eat hot dogs with ketchup. Busch went with mustard only. Taillon said choose whatever makes you happy. Commence the debate.

Jesse Rogers@JesseRogersESPN2H agoCubs/Braves rubber game coming up from Wrigley today. Atl woke up at the plate yesterday after a sleepy few weeks on offense, scoring 9 times. The Cubs, on the other hand, continue to struggle, hitting just .211 over the last 30 days, lowest in MLB during that timeframe.

Patrick Mooney@PJ_Mooney6H agoFor now, forget about the prospects in Iowa and players on the edges of the roster. The Cubs need their best hitters – the ones with contracts and security – to start performing again. Until then, their offense will keep getting put on no-hitter watch. ⬇️ https://t.co/zQV0kdY1Tv

Patrick Mooney@PJ_Mooney22H agoAdbert Alzolay will remain shut down with a right flexor strain, Cubs manager Craig Counsell said, as the team follows a conservative treatment plan for an injury that does not sound like a short-term issue: “It’s going to be a while.”

Patrick Mooney@PJ_Mooney22H ago“We all know what’s been going on,” Cubs pitcher Kyle Hendricks said after getting demoted to the bullpen. “It’s just trying to give the team the best chance to win. I’m honestly excited for the opportunity and the challenge. It’s a big opportunity to try and turn things around.”

Meghan Montemurro@M_Montemurro23H agoAfter getting 2nd opinion, Adbert Alzolay (flexor strain) will be shut down from throwing for at least next two weeks. Counsell: “And then we'll kind of go from there but it could be longer than that.” Cubs are treating his injury conservatively & surgery not on table right now
