| The Cubs transferred RHP Cade Horton to the 60-day injured list. Ari Koslow Sat, Apr 18th | The Mets are optioning Jonah Tong to Triple-A Syracuse. Ari Koslow Wed, Jun 3rd | |
| Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Cade Horton is looking at a “15-16 month recovery.” Ari Koslow Fri, Apr 17th | Senga (back) could return from the injured list as soon as next week, leaving Tong without a guaranteed major-league spot. The Mets could shift him to the bullpen for a longer look against big-league hitters. Across three bulk-relief assignments this season, Tong has a 3.60 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and 7:7 K:BB over 10 innings, with walks limiting his ability to work deep into games. Bruno Mulé Wed, Jun 3rd | |
| Cubs right-hander Cade Horton will undergo season-ending UCL surgery. Brenton Kemp Tue, Apr 7th | Senga (back) is expected to return to the Mets' rotation soon, which could push Tong back to Triple-A, where he struggled earlier this season. Tong entered Wednesday as a bulk reliever behind opener Huascar Brazoban, who threw one inning, in his second such appearance of the year. Bruno Mulé Thu, May 28th | |
| 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 | Jonah Tong will make a bulk relief appearance on Wednesday against the Reds. Ari Koslow Tue, May 26th | |
| The Cubs placed RHP Cade Horton on the 15-day injured list with a right forearm strain. Ari Koslow Sun, Apr 5th | Jonah Tong is expected to pitch again on Wednesday against the Reds. Ari Koslow Sat, May 23rd | |
| 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 | ||
