He had thrown a pitch in the second inning Saturday in Cleveland and exited with the Chicago Cubs<\/a>‘ training staff. It wasn’t immediately clear what happened.<\/p>\n

After the game, Horton shared some of the scoop with reporters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Horton said that he felt tightness in his right (throwing) wrist that shifted up into his forearm.<\/p>\n

He’s hopeful that he caught it early before doing something worse, but imaging will be done to determine the full extent of the situation.<\/p>\n

And the biggest piece of info shared: Horton is going on the 15-day Injured List.<\/p>\n

The Cubs will have to figure out how to get through three turns in the rotation, at least, without Horton.<\/p>\n

But if Horton came away from this unscathed without further major damage, that’ll still feel like a win for Chicago.<\/p>\n

For now, Cubs fans will all hope their young pitcher turns out to be OK.<\/p>\n
