Cubs closing in on contract extension with Nico Hoerner: Sources The Cubs are preparing to invest in a Gold Glove-caliber second baseman who would play next to Dansby Swanson for the foreseeable future.

Inks three-year extension Hoerner agreed to a three-year, $35 million contract extension with the Cubs on Monday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The Cubs clearly liked what they saw out of Hoerner in 2022 after he slashed .281/.327/.410 with 10 homers, 55 RBI, 20 stolen bases and 60 runs scored in his first full season of big-league action (135 games). The club now has the middle of the infield locked up for the next few years, as Chicago signed Dansby Swanson to a seven-year deal in December, and the team now has Hoerner under contract until his age-29 season.

Returns to spring lineup Hoerner (biceps) will start at second base and bat leadoff in Sunday's Cactus League game against the Royals, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact He'll re-enter the Cubs' spring lineup for the first time since Tuesday, after left biceps tightness resulted in him being scratched on a couple occasions over the past few days. So long as Hoerner escapes Sunday's contest no worse for the wear, he should head into Opening Day with a full-time role in the middle infield in hand.

Scratched again Hoerner was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's Cactus League contest against the Angels due to left biceps tightness, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact Hoerner was scratched Thursday due to the same injury, and while he was initially set to make his return Saturday, he needs at least one more day to heal. He's reportedly feeling better, and the Cubs say they're just being cautious, so his availability to Opening Day doesn't appear to be at significant risk.

Returns to lineup Hoerner (biceps) will lead off and play second base Saturday against the Angels.

Impact Hoerner was scratched Thursday due to left biceps tightness, but the Cubs called the move preventative at the time. Assuming he gets through Saturday's game without issues, he should be good to go for Opening Day.

Scratched with tight biceps Hoerner was scratched from the Cubs' Cactus League lineup Thursday due to left biceps tightness, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact It's being called a preventative measure, though there has to be at least some level of concern given that Opening Day is only one week away. Miles Mastrobuoni will cover second base against the Diamondbacks.

State of the Cubs with Nico Hoerner, who links their past to a brighter future Hoerner knows it's important to learn from the past and remember what worked during the last rebuild.

MARCH 6, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Likely to bat leadoff Cubs manager David Ross indicated Thursday that Hoerner will be the primary leadoff man to begin the 2023 season, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Hoerner has already led off four times through less than a week of Cactus League games, and it sounds like that theme is going to carry over into the regular season. The 25-year-old middle infielder enjoyed a mini breakout in 2022, tallying 10 homers and 20 stolen bases across 135 games. He did that with a .327 on-base percentage, which can perhaps improve and elevate his full range of counting stats as Chicago's likely tablesetter.

Cubs' Nico Hoerner says move back to 2B is 'not an issue'

Avoids arbitration with Cubs Hoerner signed a one-year, $2.525 million contract with the Cubs on Friday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Impact Hoerner had a nice 2022 campaign, putting up a .736 OPS with 10 home runs and 20 stolen bases. He'll move back over to second base in 2023 following the Cubs' addition of Dansby Swanson.

Steals 20th base, scores three runs Hoerner went 1-for-2 with two walks and three runs scored in Wednesday's 15-2 win over the Reds. He also stole a base.

Impact Hoerner was busy in the season finale despite recording just one hit. The stolen base was his 20th of the year to go along with 10 home runs, as the young shortstop started to flash a nice mix of speed and power in his fourth season in the majors. Hoerner may be overshadowed by a handful of other middle infielders heading into 2023, though he looks primed to continue his development and remain a strong fantasy asset.
