2 mins agoChicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell said on Monday that infielder Nico Hoerner (elbow) is "in a great spot" in his recovery from flexor-tendon surgery last October. The Cubs aren't putting a timetable on Hoerner's return, but Counsell also said, "He's not gonna miss much (time), if at all. That's what I'd say. I'm confident in that. The news has been all good so far and that's really encouraging." The 27-year-old has been throwing and hitting with the official start of spring training right around the corner. The Cubs almost certainly will hold Hoerner back from playing in Cactus League games right away, but barring a setback this spring, he should have a shot to be ready for Opening Day in late March. While Hoerner has averaged 31 steals over the last three years and makes elite contact, he lacks power and had a career-low 27.7% hard-hit rate in 2024. RotoBaller has him ranked as the No. 25 fantasy second baseman.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
