Chicago Cubs make controversial move amid Shota Imanaga 15-IL decision

The Chicago Cubs appeared worried about the status of Shota Imanaga following his early exit from Sunday’s 4-0 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field. The Cubs’ starting pitcher made his second-straight early exit, leaving Tuesday’s matchup with the Pittsburgh Pirates early due to cramps.

Imanaga believed Sunday’s injury was separate from the cramping issue on Tuesday. The Cubs believed he suffered a hamstring strain and were waiting on Monday’s imaging results to find out how serious the injury was.

In the meantime, multiple Cubs insiders suggested the team would look to call up Cade Horton to the majors if Imanaga had to miss time. Horton has had a strong start in Triple-A this season, posting a 1.24 ERA. He gave up just two hits in six innings during his outing on Sunday.

The Chicago Cubs brought up Gavin Hollowell

Per the Cubs, the team placed Imanaga on the 15-day injured list. Chicago is calling up right-handed relief pitcher Gavin Hollowell from Iowa.

Hollowell has appeared in one game for the Cubs this season against the Los Angeles Dodgers on April 22, giving up no hits and recording two strikeouts in two innings pitched. He has appeared in seven games in Triple-A, posting a 3.86 ERA in 9.1 innings pitched.

Cubs fans wanted Cade Horton brought up

Many Cubs fans on social media were confused by the controversial move to keep Horton in Iowa.

“Where is Horton?” asked a fan.

“that is a weird way to spell cade horton,” wrote another.

Other fans think it’s wise for the team to wait to call up Horton while he rests after pitching on Sunday.

“Guys Horton wouldn’t need to be up til Saturday so they’re not gonna waste a spot for 5 days when Holloway has options,” wrote a fan.
