MILWAUKEE – Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner was out of the lineup on Saturday, the day after he exited with a bruised left knee. In his absence, Christopher Morel started at second base.
Hoerner woke up with soreness in his knee, according to the team. He underwent treatment before the game and was expected to be available off the bench.
It would have been shocking if he hadn’t felt the effects of the injury.
