Cade Horton Pulled From Tuesday's Start With Back Tightness
Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Cade Horton (back) was pulled from Tuesday's 9-7 loss to the Mets after pitching three innings "as a precaution because his back was tightening up," per Marquee Sports Network's Andy Martinez. Horton allowed one run on two hits (including a solo home run) and no walks with two strikeouts on 29 pitches. This was an unfortunate turn of events for the Cubs and fantasy managers, as the 24-year-old has put together an excellent rookie season. He is now 11-4 with a 2.67 ERA, a 1.08 WHIP, and a 7.40 K/9 rate in 22 starts and 118 IP. The Cubs have already clinched a playoff spot, so it remains to be seen if Horton would take a final turn in the rotation even if he is deemed ready to go.
