Activated from IL The Cubs reinstated Hoerner (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Sunday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Ramps up baseball activities Manager David Ross said Hoerner (oblique) took batting practice and participated in infield drills Monday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Hoerner was placed on the injured list July 29 with the right oblique strain and appeared on track to rejoin the Cubs by the end of August, only to have his recovery timeline pushed back when he suffered a setback during his minor-league rehab assignment. Due to the length of his absence, Hoerner will more than likely need to restart a rehab assignment and play in at least a handful of games before being activated. Once reinstated, Hoerner will likely take over as the Cubs' everyday shortstop.

Resumes baseball activities Manager David Ross said Thursday that Hoerner (oblique) has been participating in baseball activities recently, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Hoerner was removed from his first rehab game in late July since he was experiencing tension in his right oblique, but he's now resumed activities. The 24-year-old participated in infield work and hit in the cage Thursday, and Ross is hopeful the middle infielder will be able to increase his workload in the near future.
