Amid an injury to Shota Imanaga, the Cubs promoted one of their top pitching prospects, Cade Horton, to make his MLB Debut against the Mets.

On his way home from the OU baseball facilities Wednesday evening, Skip Johnson’s phone buzzed. On the other line was a pitching pupil and one of the Chicago Cubs’ top prospects in Cade Horton, a leader from OU's 2022 College World Series runner-up squad.

Cade Horton is slated to make his long-awaited MLB debut for the Chicago Cubs sometime in Saturday's game against the New York Mets. He won't be starting like most Cubs fans expected, but he is likely going to pitch at some point.
