Chicago Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner misses 4th straight game with left hamstring issue

Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner missed his fourth consecutive game on Friday, increasing the possibility 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. Hoerner, a Gold Glove winner last year, is batting .269 with two homers and 12 RBIs in 41 games this season.
