He will probably miss the National League Division Series (NLDS). The team posted Horton on the 15-day injured list, retrospectively until September 25, 2025, as announced on Saturday. This injury disrupts the rotation of the Cubs after the season as they prepare for a critical game car series against the San Diego Padres. Cade Horton’s injury and recovery timeline Cade Horton, a 24-year-old right hand, left his start on September 23 due to sideword. Subsequent tests revealed a rib fracture, a diagnosis for the Chicago Cubs’ after -season aspirations. Although the severity of Horton’s break will determine his exact timeline, this injury usually requires significant time to heal, which makes his return before the NLDs unlikely. Horton’s earliest possible return from the injured list is October 10, 2025. MLB-to-season rules, however, prevents grid supplements in the mid range unless the replacement of an injured player, and requires any replacement of the league. This means that Horton cannot pitch on Game 5 of the NLDs on October 11 unless another player is injured. The impact on Chicago Cubs’ play -off rotation Cade Horton’s absence is a blow to the rotation of Chicago, especially after its impactful rookie season. Since his MLB debut on May 10, Horton has started 22, with an impressive 2.67 era over 118 innings. If he stayed healthy, he was a strong candidate to start Game 1 of the Wild Card series. With Horton Out and Ace Justin Steele set up for 2025 for 2025, the rotation of the Cubs will now depend on the left -handed Matthew Boyd and Shota Imanaga, along with right hands Jameson Taillon, Colin Rea and Javier Assad. Boyd and Imanaga are planning to start Games 1 and 2 of the Wild Card series respectively, with Rea at the moment for a potential game 3.
