Cubs right-hander is potentially making some progre s. According to , he will throw off a mound this week as the club decides whether or not to include him on the NLCS roster, if they advance that far. Horton debuted this year and hit the ground running. He logged 118 innings for the Cubs with a 2.67 earned run average. Unfortunately, his season ended on a sour note. Horton suffered a rib fracture in September and it was immediately apparent that he would mi s at least one playoff series. The Cubs survived the Wild Card round without him but he still wasnt on the roster for their NLDS matchup against the Brewers. The Chicago rotation is feeling thin at the moment, composed of , and . Boyd just got rocked by the Brewers on Saturday. He was charged with six runs, only two of them being earned, as he failed to get out of the first inning. The Cubs went on to lose 9-3. Imanaga and Taillon were both decent this year but both had subpar strikeout rates. If the Cubs can hang on for a best-of-seven NLCS, getting Horton in there to take some pre sure of those guys could be a difference maker. Mooney also adds that the Cubs expect Horton to earn a full year of service time, which is understandable. As a top prospect who was promoted late enough that he wasnt slated to get a full service year, he can earn that full year retroactively by finishing Carlos Correa Jersey top two in N.L. Rookie of the Year voting. Horton and Atlanta catcher are considered the frontrunners for that award, so Horton will likely get that full service year. That would put him on track to reach free agency after 2030 instead of 2031. Some other injury updates from around the league Brewers outfielder is in tonights lineup, batting leadoff against the Cubs. Chourio left the first game due to some right hamstring tightne s. A subsequent MRI led to results which Pat Murphy as inconclusive, adding that its not a serious hamstring strain. That implied that Chourio did indeed strain his hamstring, though the club is apparently comfortable running him out there tonight. Murphy said today, per , that Chourio is not 100% and theyll take him out of the game if it appears nece sary. Phillies outfielder was removed from his clubs first NLDS game against the Dodgers due to a groin injury. Hes not in tonights Game Two lineup but he could be available to pinch hit. Manager Rob Thomson pa sed the new on to reporters, including . Bader is an excellent defender and he hit .305/.361/.463 after being acquired from the Twins at the deadline, so the Phillies will obviously want him back in there as soon as po sible. The Phils have , and in the lineup tonight from left to right. is also in the mix, though hes probably not starting tonight since lefty is on the bump for the Dodgers. Photo courtesy of Isaiah J.
