The Cubs got tough news on Tuesday regarding star pitcher Cade Horton.
Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network wrote: “Cade Horton will have surgery on his UCL and miss the rest of the season.”
Amid their injury troubles, the team has signed Tyler Beede to a minor league deal.
Tommy Birch of Des Moines Register wrote: “RHP Tyler Beede has signed a minor league deal with the Cubs and joined the @IowaCubs. Beede was with the Cubs earlier this year but released in March.”
Beede most recently appeared in 13 games for the Cleveland Guardians during the 2024 season.
