The Cubs transferred Horton (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Saturday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Cubs' Cade Horton: Undergoes Tommy John surgery
Rotowire
Horton (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery Thursday and is expected to be sidelined up to 16 months, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Horton required a full Tommy John repair on his right UCL, which means he's unlikely to be ready to pitch again for the Cubs until the second half of 2027. The 24-year-old has authored a 2.66 ERA in his first 25 appearances (24 starts) at the major-league level.
Cubs' Cade Horton: Set for season-ending UCL surgery
Rotowire
Horton will undergo season-ending surgery on his right UCL, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Horton had to be lifted from his last outing with a right forearm strain, and subsequent testing revealed the need to have his UCL repaired. Whether he needs a full Tommy John repair or a less invasive internal brace surgery won't be known until the operation is performed. Even if it's the latter, Horton will be shelved for all of 2026 and likely the beginning of the 2027 campaign, as well.
