Cubs’ Nico Hoerner picking up where he left off in spring training
Nico Hoerner drove in two runs Saturday after going 3-for-4 with an RBI on Friday.Infielder Nico Hoerner spent the first couple weeks of the season watching a lot of baseball, just not from the vantage point he expected.
Optioned to the alternate site in South Bend, Indiana, just before the season started, Hoerner did his best to stay plugged in with the big-league club through his hotel television.
“I spent a lot of time watching Cubs baseball,” Hoerner said. “Definitely like to keep up with how the guys are doing. I like watching my friends play and watching peoples’ at-bats.”
