It’s been a difficult season for infielder Nico Hoerner in 2021 as the former first-round pick has dealt with a variety of injuries that have forced him to miss significant time. After missing 90 games this season while on the injured list, Hoerner has now missed five games since coming off the IL.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, Hoerner’s season is likely over.
Hoerner has been out of the Cubs’ lineup since Friday as he’s dealt with what the team has called general soreness. There was to be some soreness expected after missing as much time as Hoerner has, but not to this extent.
