MESA, Ariz. – A small crowd climbed into the backfield bleachers Sunday to watch Cubs top pitching prospect Cade Horton throw to hitters Sunday for the first time since last May.

“My goal was to go out there and just attack hitters and kind of get my groove back on,” he said after throwing an inning of live batting practice. “And so I feel like I accomplished that.”

Horton is working back from a subscapularis strain that wiped out most of his 2024 season.
