Nico Hoerner Remains Sidelined
6 months agoChicago Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner (hand) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Hoerner has been out of the lineup since suffering a fracture in his hand during last Thursday's game. Despite that, the Cubs are hopeful that Hoerner will be able to avoid a trip to the injured list. Cubs manager Craig Counsell said that Hoerner is available off the bench on Tuesday. It sounds like Hoerner is making progress but isn't quite ready to play yet. Michael Busch will cover second base and bat seventh versus right-hander Zach Eflin on Tuesday.
