An MRI showed a mild to moderate strain, but Nico Hoerner and the Cubs plan to have the shortstop back on the field soon.
“We’re going to try to work on him to get back. He wants to get back,” Ross said. “He’s pretty disappointed with the news and information.
“I don’t think he has anything left to prove to us this year,” he added. “But I would definitely say the guy likes to play baseball, and we like those guys out there as much as possible.” Hoerner has proved he can play shortstop at a high level after entering the season as a question mark there, and he leads the team with a .291 average .Hoerner was unavailable before each of the first two games of this weekend series against the Rockies, between medical consultations for the MRI and treatments.
“It’s a little worse off than we thought,” Ross said of those results. “He’s feeling good, which is nice. The MRI showed a little bit more [to suggest] needing to be cautious. So we’re just going to try to play it day to day. He’ll be out for a couple more days.”
