Jake Arrieta, Nico Hoerner Placed On Injured List
4 years agoThe Chicago Cubs placed starting pitcher Jake Arrieta (thumb), infielder Nico Hoerner (forearm) and relief pitcher Dan Winkler (triceps) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. In corresponding moves, pitchers Kyle Ryan and Keegan Thompson and infielder Ildemaro Vargas were called up from the alternate training site. Arrieta is expected to miss at least the next 10 days with a right thumb abrasion, while Hoerner is out with a left forearm strain. Arrieta, 35, allowed seven runs on seven hits in his last start, and the veteran right-hander has a 4.31 ERA and a 28:12 K:BB in 28 innings so far this year. It's a tough break for Hoerner, as he was slashing .380/.500/.556 with three steals in 44 plate appearances after being called up on April 21. David Bote should see increased playing time with Hoerner out. Winkler is batting right triceps tendonitis.
