A 10-15 day IL stint for a blister is probably about the best you could hope for in terms of managing his innings. Pulling him in the third inning of game one of a DH is less than ideal obviously. 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Cool development. Didn't see this one coming. 

[Geographyhater8888]

Lol just horsefeathers great. 

[Cubbies1996]

Lolllll Cubs again leaving an injured guy in the game. 

[BigSlick]

well this isn't starting off swimmingly

[We Got The Whole 9]

This pitching staff is about to get decimated 

[Brian707]

Just a blister(watching on gamecast)?

[JHBulls]

Last we will probably see of Horton this month. 

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Sure hope Taillon can eat some innings.

[UMFan83]

Definitely what you want to see in the 3rd inning of game 1 of a DH against the greatest team in baseball history.

Yeah.

If this season was going to be full of stupid horsefeathers like a pitching injury apocalypse and Tucker inexplicably morphing into Heyward and the offense all sucking at once, I wish it could've happened early rather than wasting time and energy on this.

[Cubbies1996]

This has been quite an unlucky season for the pitching staff

[Dfan25]

I see Bryce Turang has become a slugger now . Hitting balls out the opposite way like he is Babe Ruth .  

[UMFan83]

We're in Day 7 of 24 games in 24 days so that's fun.

maybe the cubs should have picked up a SP or three at the trade deadline.

Why do you want to risk the greatness of the 2032 Cubs?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

5-3 shouldn't be that stressful

[We Got The Whole 9]

Wiggins please? How can we make it so? 

[Cubbies1996]

All we can do now is hope Pomeranz can keep it respectable and eat at least 3 innings.

But MLB is heading towards a lockout in 2027, so Jed strategically decided not to add any long-term money. Or something like that.

Wiggins hasn't pitched in a month, who knows wtf they're doing with him.

"Load management," but no one seems to have any idea what that actually means.

Birdsell's elbow also went kablooey, so there's that.

[Dfan25]

Horton wasn’t going to go much longer in this one anyway . He was at 61 pitches and his pitch count is 70-75.
