Chicago will have to survive without their ace rookie right-hander - at least until late in the NLDS.

If the Chicago Cubs are going to make a deep run in October, they'll have to do so without rookie right-hander Cade Horton, who was placed on the IL this weekend and isn't eligible to return until the day before Game 5 of the NLDS, assuming the Cubs advance that far.

The best-of-three National League Wild Card Series kicks off on Tuesday at Wrigley Field.
