Cade Horton Starting on Saturday
Cade Horton (finger) will start on Saturday against the Los Angeles Angels, manager Craig Counsell announced. Horton left a loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday with a middle-finger blister, but it won't lead to any missed starts. The 24-year-old rookie has toed the rubber four times this month and posted a near-spotless .95 ERA with a mere nine hits allowed and 20:6 K:BB in 19 innings. Overall, Horton has gone 7-4 with a 3.08 ERA (4.18 xERA), a 1.20 WHIP, and 70:28 K:BB across 87 2/3 frames. While Horton has thrived in August, the Angels' offense ranks a below-average 19th in wOBA (.307) and 20th in runs (85) this month.
