NEW YORK – Top Cubs pitching prospect Cade Horton is getting his first taste of the major leagues.

He’s expected to be active Saturday against the Mets at Citi Field, manager Craig Counsell said Friday. The Cubs had a hole to fill in the rotation after when Shota Imanaga went on the 15-day IL Monday with a strained left hamstring. Imanaga is expected to be out for more than two weeks.
