Hoerner is not in the starting lineup for Friday's contest with the Red Sox.
Hoerner will get a day off after he went 7-for-13 with a double, two RBI and two runs during a three-game series against the Reds. He currently owns an eight-game hit streak, raising his average from .271 to .310 over that stretch. Andrelton Simmons will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Friday's series opener.
