Cade Horton | Fantasy Outlook
Cade Horton sidelined for the year following season-ending elbow surgery
Horton's 2026 campaign halted in early April after he was diagnosed with a torn UCL requiring Tommy John surgery. The second-place Cubs (54-42) have navigated their rotation without the young right-hander since then, and our data confirms he will miss the remainder of the season. He is currently on the 60-day injured list, leaving a significant void in the Chicago pitching staff during their hunt for a postseason berth.
Before the injury, Horton was poised to build on a stellar 2025 rookie season where he posted a 2.93 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP. Our models expected him to flourish as a mid-rotation staple this year, but instead, his season is finished after just two starts. While his raw talent remains undeniable, the reconstruction surgery creates a difficult road back for the 24-year-old, and he will not provide any fantasy value until 2027.
There is no path for Horton to contribute to fantasy rosters for the rest of 2026, and he has no projected innings for the week ahead as the Cubs face the Twins. He remains a high-end target in dynasty leagues due to his elite strikeout potential, but in standard redraft formats, he is no longer rosterable. Managers can safely move on to active starters who can help in the final months of the season. Drop.
