Cubs right-hander Cade Horton left the first game of a doubleheader against the Brewers on Monday in the third inning with an apparent hand issue.
After two scoreless innings, with a pair of singles allowed, Horton gave up a solo home run to the Brewers’ Brice Turang and a line-drive double to Caleb Durbin with one out in the third inning.
Cubs head athletic trainer Nick Frangella and manager Craig Counsell jogged out to the mound. After a conversation, Horton threw a warm-up pitch and remained in the game.
He got the next batter, William Contreras, to ground out on a one-hopper to shortstop Nico Hoerner.
