CLEVELAND – Cubs top prospect Cader Horton’s development path going into this season suggested that he could pitch for the major-league team in 2024. And when he earned a promotion to Triple-A in late April, the move fell in line with that expectation.

Then a recent setback in his injury rehab from a subscapularis strain on his right side, however, wiped out that possibility and the rest of his season. He hasn’t pitched in a game since May 29.
