Hoerner is among seven infielders in the Cubs' player pool working out at Wrigley Field for summer camp.
Three of the four starting infield spots in Chicago are locked down by Anthony Rizzo, Kris Bryant and Javier Baez. Second base is a bit of a different story, where Hoerner, Jason Kipnis, David Bote and possibly Daniel Descalso could see some playing time. The veteran Kipnis figures to get the first shot at starting, though the team may elect to deploy Hoerner against left-handed pitchers. And if the talented 23-year-old performs like he did in a short MLB stint last year, when he batted .282 and hit three home runs in 20 games, he could wrestle away more playing time.
