Cubs shortstop Nico Hoerner left Wednesday’s game vs. the Padres after colliding with an umpire in the second inning.
After Padres shortstop Jurickson Profar hit a triple to the wall in center field, Hoerner ran into an umpire while trying to get in position to field a relay throw from Cubs right fielder Jason Heyward.
Both the shortstop and umpire fell to the ground. The 24-year-old was checked by a trainer and manager David Ross following the collision, and stayed in the rest of the second inning, although he appeared to have right leg pain.
