MLB:
With Horton's blister sidelining him, should fantasy managers expect a quick return for the Cubs' rotation or a cautious closer look at the depth chart?
Qwiket AI:
Horton’s blister is generally a minor hurdle, but it can trigger a pause in the rotation. Expect the Cubs to lean on Taillon and Wicks, with the 27th man slot giving them a hedge for the doubleheader. If Horton is unavailable beyond one start, watch how the bullpen usage shifts and whether a minor-league arm is elevated for immediate relief. This could delay Horton’s DFS upside in the short term but not erase longer-term upside if he returns healthy.
