Chicago Cubs fans are begging for some good news but the dark clouds still gather regularly over Wrigley. Today during his first rehab outing with South Bend, Nico Hoerner pulled himself out of the game after an awkward swing on an 1-0 pitch. He stated that he felt ‘tightness’ in the oblique that has kept him on the IL for the last few weeks.
This took place on the same day that Cubs’ homepage highlighted an article by Ryan Herrera entitled “Hoerner set to be everyday SS upon return”.
