News
	The Cubs transferred RHP Cade Horton to the 60-day injured list. Ari Koslow Sat, Apr 18th	Jameson Taillon will make his first start with the Blue Jays on Wednesday against the Astros. Ari Koslow Tue, Aug 4th
	Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Cade Horton is looking at a “15-16 month recovery.” Ari Koslow Fri, Apr 17th	Jameson Taillon will be immediately inserted into the Blue Jays starting rotation. Ari Koslow Tue, Aug 4th
	Cubs right-hander Cade Horton will undergo season-ending UCL surgery. Brenton Kemp Tue, Apr 7th	The Blue Jays acquired RHP Jameson Taillon from the Cubs for cash considerations or a player to be named later. Ari Koslow Sun, Aug 2nd
	Cade Horton (forearm) is scheduled to visit specialist Dr. Keith Meister in Texas on Tuesday after his MRI results came back "not clean" and "not good." David Leisering Tue, Apr 7th	The Cubs designated Jameson Taillon for assignment. Ari Koslow Mon, Jul 27th
	The Cubs placed RHP Cade Horton on the 15-day injured list with a right forearm strain.

Notes
	Cade Horton broke through in 2025 with a 2.67 ERA and 1.09 WHIP across 118 innings, finishing second in NL Rookie of the Year voting after posting a 144 ERA+. His underlying profile was strong but not overpowering, as his 3.58 FIP and 7.4 K/9 suggest more command-and-contact management than bat-missing dominance. The 2026 projections push him closer to the mid-3.00s in ERA with a modest bump in workload, which frames Horton as a high-floor SP3/SP4. Without elite strikeout volume, his value will hinge on efficiency, wins, and ratio stability in a competitive Cubs rotation. Draft him as a steady innings stabilizer, but avoid paying for a repeat sub-2.75 ERA unless there's tangible growth in swing-and-miss. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
