The 27-year-old Hoerner had right flexor tendon
surgery on Oct. 11, according to the Cubs. Dr. Keith Meister
performed the operation.
The team offered no further details on Monday.
Hoerner batted .273 with seven homers, 48 RBIs and 31 steals in
a career-high 151 games this year. He hit .346 (45 for 130) in
his last 34 games.
The Cubs went 83-79 for the second straight season and missed
out on the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year.
Hoerner was selected by Chicago in the first round of the 2018
amateur draft out of Stanford University. He signed a $35
million, three-year contract in March 2023 that runs through the
2026 season.
Hoerner, who made his big league debut in 2019, is a .278 hitter
with 29 homers, 217 RBIs and 102 steals in 548 major league
games. He was a Gold Glove winner in 2023.
