NICO!!! Hoerner Returns to AA with a Homer and Triple Already
Back at AA Tennessee for the first time in a couple months, top Cubs prospect Nico Hoerner is taking no time to catch back up.
The 22-year-old shortstop suffered a hairline fracture in his wrist after a HBP in late April, and the Cubs took it very slow and steady with his return.

That’s Hoerner crushing one way out to left center – over the 395′ sign – which was followed by a triple off the wall to right field:
