CHICAGO — Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner has missed his fourth consecutive game, increasing the possibility that he could need a stint on the injured list. Hoerner was scratched for Tuesday's 7-0 loss at Atlanta because of left hamstring tightness. He went through a more normal pregame routine on Thursday, but manager Craig Counsell says his hamstring was still bothering him. Hoerner, a Gold Glove winner last year, is batting .269 with two homers and 12 RBIs in 41 games this season.
