Cubs' Pitcher Cade Horton Exits Against Guardians Due to Right Forearm Discomfort
The Cubs said Horton exited after 17 pitches, and his final fastball was 93.8 mph as Colin Rea took over.
- Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Cade Horton exited Friday's game against the Cleveland Guardians in the second inning with right forearm discomfort after throwing 17 pitches.
- Manager Craig Counsell and a trainer visited the mound after Horton's final pitch registered 93.8 mph, nearly 2 mph below his average fastball velocity.
- Forearm discomfort represents a concerning initial diagnosis for the Cubs' top starter, who previously missed time last season with a right rib fracture.
- Veteran right-hander Colin Rea replaced Horton in the second inning, while right-hander Ben Brown remains available to slot into the rotation if needed.
- Losing an ace for any duration poses a significant challenge for the organization, as the rotation's ceiling is undoubtedly lowered without Horton's immense potential.
