Hoerner (oblique) went through fielding drills Monday and is slated to hit in the cage Tuesday, per manager David Ross.

This comes on the heels of Hoerner resuming baseball activities earlier this month, so the infielder is making steady progress as he attempts to return from a right oblique strain he suffered July 29.
