The Chicago Cubs have added second baseman Nico Hoerner to the 10-day IL with a hamstring strain, retroactive to May 9. In a corresponding move, the Cubs have called up infielder Miles Mastrobuoni to add some depth. Nick Madrigal likely ends up being the first man up to take over at second base, with Chicago playing matchups and also getting Christopher Morel some work.
