Winquest is one of the few starters who was drafted in this year’s Rule 5, but his path to joining the Yankees will likely come in relief. An eighth-round pick back in 2022, Winquest made 23 starts — 25 appearances in total — while reaching Double-A while in the St. Louis organization with a 110/39 K/BB and 3.99 ERA over 106 innings.

Horton has been impressive at Triple-A Iowa this season and is in the mix to replace Shota Imanaga (hamstring) this weekend. However, he has also only pitched 205 innings in the minors since being drafted in 2022, and the Cubs are concerned that “Horton has missed out on some developmental time that could have already sharpened his game and kept his pitches in the strike zone more consistently.” Mooney reports that the team wants Horton to cut down on his “non-competitive pitches” because they see that as a major weakness that will be exposed by MLB hitters. While that issue may keep Horton from debuting this weekend, it seems likely that he will be up at some point this month, which makes him one of the top prospect stashes in fantasy baseball.

Horton allowed two hits and threw 76 pitches on the day. The 23-year-old is one of the top pitching prospects in baseball and has registered a 1.06 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP with a 23:11 K:BB ratio in 17 innings to start the season. Horton is still building up as he recovers from a lat injury but throwing 76 pitches in this start was a positive step. If Horton can make a few more starts in the 80-90 pitch range, he could push for a spot in the Cubs’ rotation.

Gibson provides Miami with a fresh relief arm for Sunday’s series finale against the Phillies. It’s the first call-up for the 27-year-old southpaw after spending the last four seasons in Miami’s system after being selected in the 10th round of the 2022 MLB Draft. He’ll operate in long relief for the Marlins.

Horton has quickly reclaimed his previous status as one of the top pitching prospects in baseball through three excellent starts at Triple-A Iowa after missing most of last year with a lat injury. The 23-year-old righty boasts a stellar 1.43 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 18/10 K/BB ratio across 12 1/3 innings of work. He still has some work to do in terms of developing a reliable third pitch, but his fastball/slider combo is going to make him an effective high-floor rotation option in the big leagues.

It’s extremely encouraging to see Horton excelling after missing most of last year with a lat strain. The 23-year-old righty holds a strong 1.23 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 12/7 K/BB ratio across 7 1/3 innings (two starts). He’ll continue ramping up at the Triple-A level and figures to be an option for Chicago’s starting rotation sometime around midseason.
