Goes deep in blowout loss Hoerner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Reds.

Impact Chicago fell 20-5, so Hoerner's third home run of the season was of little consequence. It's still good to see the shortstop go deep in his second game back from the injured list after missing two weeks with a right ankle sprain. The 25-year-old is expected to be the primary shortstop moving forward for the 18-26 Cubs, with the veteran Andrelton Simmons working in more of a reserve role.

No position battle: Why Nico Hoerner will be Cubs' primary shortstop The Cubs activated Nico Hoerner on Wednesday and put catcher Yan Gomes on the 10-day IL.

Primary shortstop going forward Hoerner will be the Cubs' primary shortstop going forward, Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hoerner, who is starting at the six and batting eighth Thursday against the Reds, was activated from the injured list Wednesday and the expectation is that he will get the reps at shortstop while Andrelton Simmons starts at second base or comes off the bench most days. The Cubs are using this year as an audition for Hoerner to show he can stay healthy and stay productive, before the team potentially eyes up a big free-agent signing at the position this offseason. Hoerner is hitting .278/.300/.402 with two home runs and two steals in 30 games.

Comes back from IL The Cubs reinstated Hoerner (ankle) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Hoerner's return to the 26-man active roster comes as somewhat of a surprise, as the expectation was that he would require a brief minor-league rehab assignment before being activated after he had been sidelined for the past two weeks with a right ankle sprain. The Cubs evidently felt encouraged enough by how Hoerner looked in a full workout earlier this week to activate him, but the 25-year-old may have to settle for a utility role now that he's ostensibly healthy again. Hoerner will be on the bench for Wednesday's game against the Reds, as the hot-hitting Christopher Morel gets a look at second base while the defensive-minded Andrelton Simmons mans shortstop.

Performing all baseball activities Hoerner (ankle) took part in hitting, fielding, running and throwing drills during an on-field workout Tuesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Fellow injured middle infielder Nick Madrigal (back) also performed the same activities, as both look to be at similar spots in their respective rehab programs. Hoerner and Madrigal could both be ready to begin minor-league rehab assignments later this week before potentially returning from the 10-day injured list by the end of the month. Though both Hoerner and Madrigal handled everyday roles for the Cubs prior to hitting the shelf, the two may have to fend off Andrelton Simmons and Jonathan Villar for starts in the middle infield once they're back from the IL.

Takes grounders Monday Hoerner (ankle) took grounders prior to Monday's game against the Reds, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Hoerner has been on the injured list for just over 10 days due to a right ankle sprain, but he's been participating in baseball activities recently. Manager David Ross said Monday that the 25-year-old is close to returning, so it's possible he'll be activated within the next few days.

Running bases Saturday Hoerner (ankle) will run the bases Saturday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Hoerner was cleared for baseball activities this week, but Saturday's workout will mark the first time he's run the bases since sustaining his ankle injury. The 25-year-old has been on the injured list for nearly a week, and it's possible he'll require a minor-league rehab assignment prior to rejoining the Cubs.
