Oh No: Cade Horton Out for Season, to Undergo UCL Surgery

[Tryptamine]

 So, Cade underwent surgery not to far off the time line of Steele and they both supposedly had the brace, so why is Steele expected back toward the end of May of the following year while Horton isn't even a sure thing to appear at all in the following year?

His injury history might be a contributing factor.

I hope you're right.

Me too😅And I am not saying what you suggest can’t happen. It absolutely can. Just really too early to write the guy off.

I think it best to forget about Cade Horton altogether, with the surgery, chances of re-injury.  He should be removed from the equation of the Cubs future.  Which, of course, is unfortunate and really sucks, it's the price teams pay for velocity.  He'll more likely end up as one of those guys who never pitches again because he can't keep of the injured list.  Than someone who makes it all the way back.

Thus is unnecessary gloom in a very gloomy thread. Holster your gloom boner son

Did we get any clarification about Taylor's report vs CC?

Not having access to team facilities from Dec to at least March next year probably isn't ideal either. If that's how that works.
