Nico Hoerner To Play In AFL
6 years agoChicago Cubs shortstop Nico Hoerner (elbow), the team's No. 6 prospect, is getting ready for the Arizona Fall League by working out at the team's facility in Arizona. The team's first-round pick this year was shut down in July with an injury to ligaments in his left elbow. He'll play for the Mesa Solar Sox, which opens play Oct. 9. Hoerner hit .327/.450/.571 with two homers, six RBI and six stolen bases in just 14 games over three minor league levels in 2018. He's one to keep an eye on in dynasty/keeper leagues.
