Nico Hoerner latest Cubs player with injury; leaves mid-game
Nico Hoerner has been playing at a MVP level for the Chicago Cubs throughout the first month of the season. Following a six year, $141 million contract extension, the 28 year old has easily been their best player on the diamond each and every night. Through 32 games, he has a .297/.374/.461 slash line with four home runs, 26 RBI, seven stolen bases, all while maintaining elite level defense at second base.
Unfortunately, on Friday May 1 he became the latest Cubs player to have an injury. He joins position player Tyler Austin, who underwent surgery this off-season, along with pitchers Hunter Harvey, Porter Hodge, Cade Horton, Riley Martin, Shelby Miller, Daniel Palencia, Ethan Roberts, Justin Steele, Caleb Thielbar, and Jordan Wicks to be injured.
Nico Hoerner abruptly leaves Chicago Cubs game on Friday

In the second inning of the Cubs versus Arizona Dimaondbacks game, Hoener was pinch hit for by Matt Shaw. His removal from the game was surprising, but at Talkin Baseball they went back and saw him grimacing multiple times while running the bases the inning prior.

Moments later, the Marquee broadcast revealed that Hoerner was removed due to left sided neck tightness.
The Chicago Cubs can ill afford to lose Hoerner for any extended period of time. Beyond his steady production at the plate, he is one of the club’s most important defenders and a key piece of the infield’s consistency. With Chicago already battling through a growing list of injuries, his absence would place even more pressure on other players and thin the lineup considerably. The Cubs have managed to stay competitive despite several setbacks, but keeping Hoerner healthy will be critical if they hope to maintain momentum in the division race.
