The Chicago Cubs’ optimism that second baseman Nico Hoerner could avoid a stint on the injured list met reality Friday, landing on the 10-day IL before the series opener against the Minnesota Twins.
MINNEAPOLIS — The Chicago Cubs’ optimism that second baseman Nico Hoerner could avoid a stint on the injured list met reality Friday.
“He’s a great teammate, he’s always helping in whatever way he can,” Mervis said of Hoerner. “And obviously a guy that’s had a lot of success so far this season offensively and a guy that I look up to as a hitter. So just having him that I can run an idea by approach wise is great.” Left-hander Drew Smyly, who held the Twins to two runs in six innings, described the comeback as an awesome team win. Christopher Morel, getting the start at second base and hitting leadoff in place of Hoerner, crushed an opposite-field two-run homer in the ninth, his second in three games since getting called up.
