Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:13:00 GMT

For much of the past two months the Chicago Cubs have talked about the kind of baseball they were capable of playing if everyone did his part.Now they’re done talking and letting their actions speak for them.The results have been impressive to see.“Coming (off) the (4-5) road trip, obviously we keep saying, ‘It’s a long season, it’s a long season,’ and things like that,” second baseman Nico Hoerner said. “But it did seem like a significant homestand, playing the Pirates for the first time.

He suffered a facial fracture but is currently resting at home in stable condition. Follow-up appointments next week will determine next steps and a treatment plan,” the team announced.Though the game and numbers are trivial in such situations, Houck was having one of his best starts of the season on Friday night. Over four innings, he held the Yankees to four hits and just one earned run, issued one walk, and struck out two. He’d only thrown 59 pitches when the injury occurred.Sources also tell the Herald that the right-hander will likely be placed o...
