"Nico Hoerner grimaced while running the bases in the first inning and has now been removed from the game. The good news is that the Cubs do have Shaw available to slide right in, so they can afford to be OVER-protective and err on the side of caution."
"Cubs announce Nico Hoerner left today's game with 'left sided neck tightness.' Hopefully it's just one of those things where he had a crick in the neck, and was starting to not be able to turn his head as well as he'd like to."
Nico Hoerner was pulled from the game after experiencing discomfort, specifically left-sided neck tightness. He had a solid performance with a double and a run scored but grimaced while running the bases. The Cubs have Matt Shaw available to replace him, allowing for a cautious approach regarding Hoerner's health. There is hope that the issue is minor, possibly just a crick in the neck that may resolve with rest.
