Guardians 4, Cubs 1: Cade Horton injured and Cubs lose. How was your Friday?
An apparent injury to the Cubs’ best starter is not good news.
The Cubs lost to the Guardians 4-1 Friday afternoon in Cleveland , but that’s not the big story of the day. That, of course, is the apparent injury to Cade Horton in the second inning. Here’s what happened [VIDEO].
Your browser does not support the video tag. It’s really hard to tell what actually went on there. There was no obvious sign of any sort of pain from Horton, but he immediately signaled for the dugout and left the game.
Later, it was announced by the Cubs via the Marquee Sports Network broadcast that Horton left due to “right forearm discomfort. ” Which… isn’t good. That sort of thing is sometimes a precursor to Tommy John surgery.
Or maybe it’s not. We just don’t know at this time. Hopefully, the Cubs will have an update later this evening, or tomorrow.
