Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner underwent right flexor tendon surgery on his right hand after the season ended.
The Cubs announced that infielder Nico Hoerner underwent right flexor tendon surgery on October 11, with Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune among those to relay the news on X. The club hasn’t yet provided an estimated timeline for his recovery. The news comes out of nowhere, as there was no prior indication there was…
There wasn't any talk of Hoerner dealing with elbow issues this season, but perhaps it was a factor in him putting up the worst exit velocity numbers of his career. Still, he did wind up playing in a career-high 151 games and hitting .273/.335/.373, which was good for a 101 OPS+. He's finished with OPS+s between 101 and 106 each of the last four years.
Hoerner underwent surgery Oct. 11 to repair his right flexor tendon, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
