Cubs fans exhale after Cade Horton breaks silence on injury

It seemed like a painful sense of irony that during a broadcast where Cade Horton's comparisons to Mark Prior were being discussed, Horton was pulled from his start against the Milwaukee Brewers due to a blister. It was clear that the blister was impacting Horton's command, and while it wasn't ideal, the Cubs were left with no choice but to pull their rookie starting pitcher.

The silver lining is that Horton expects to make his next scheduled start. It seems that the Cubs caught the injury before it festered into a situation that would require a stint on the IL.
