Nico Hoerner Scratched With Biceps Tightness
2 years agoChicago Cubs middle infielder Nico Hoerner (biceps) was scratched from Thursday's Cactus League game as a precaution with left biceps tightness. In his place, Miles Mastrobuoni will start at second base and bat ninth in the lineup for the Cubbies against Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Ryne Nelson. As long as Hoerner is able to return to game action shortly, he should be ready for Opening Day next week. The 25-year-old will move to the keystone in 2023 after the addition of shortstop Dansby Swanson. He boosted his fantasy appeal last year by hitting .281/.327/.410 with 10 home runs, 55 RBI and 20 stolen bases. Hoerner is mostly valuable for his speed in deep-mixed fantasy leagues.
