Not you, too, Nico Hoerner.
The Cubs‘ best player this season exited Friday’s series opener against the Diamondbacks at Wrigley Field with “left-sided neck tightness,” according to the team. With all the injuries sustained by the Cubs already — most of them among pitchers — losing an All-Star-caliber leadoff man and second baseman for any length of time would be far from ideal.
Facing Zac Gallen, Hoerner led off the bottom of the first with a gapper to left-center for a double. He came around and scored on Michael Busch’s two-out, two-run base hit in the Cubs’ three-run frame.
Hoerner, who entered the game hitting .291 with a team-high 26 RBI, was in the field for the top of the second but got no action. Utility man Matt Shaw pinch-hit for him in the bottom of the inning.
In his third season with the Cubs, Imanaga is taking accountability in a new way. Through his interpreter, he says he no longer wants to use his being from Japan as an excuse for when he doesn’t do well.

Tallion shut down the first 14 batters in order, survived two solo homers, and then allowed just one more hit in seven innings of the Cubs’ 5-4 victory over the Padres.
