The Chicago Cubs are expected to call up their top pitching prospect, right-hander Cade Horton, in advance of a three-game road series against the New York Mets, the Des Moines Register reported Thursday.
Horton, 23, was the No. 7 overall draft pick by the Cubs in 2022 out of Oklahoma. In his third season in the Cubs’ system, he is 2-1 with a 1.24 ERA in six starts for Triple-A Iowa.
It will be Horton’s first appearance on the major league roster during the regular season. He participated in major league camp during spring training at Mesa, Ariz.
The Cubs, who have lost three of their past four games, have yet to reveal their starters for the upcoming series.
Only infielder Matt Shaw was ranked above Horton in the Cubs’ prospect rankings at mlb.com. Horton also was ranked as the No. 46 overall prospect in MLB.
