Hoerner (neck) is not in the Cubs' starting lineup against the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Scouting Report

A natural hitter with great strike-zone judgment and an outstanding ability to make consistent contact, he can hit for a solid batting average in MLB and is also developing home-run power. Is not an elite athlete but has tremendous defensive instincts (so he can play shortstop at the highest level). Has the makeup of a true professional and he understands the game very well.

Long Range Potential: Talented infielder with good upside.
