Top pitching prospect Cade Horton will be considered for the opening in the rotation, though the Chicago Cubs have not made any decisions on what route they might take.

Shota Imanaga suffered a hamstring injury and landed on the IL as a result. Unfortunately, his IL stint won't be short, as he won't even be evaluated until he's on the sidelines for two weeks. This likely means Chicago Cubs fans won't see him pitch for at least a month.

After Shota Imanaga's injury, the Chicago Cubs are being urged to call up top pitching prospect Cade Horton to bolster the rotation.
