Nico Hoerner is back for the Chicago Cubs, but he can’t solve all their offensive woes. ‘He just needs to be himself,’ says manager David Ross.

“For me, it just definitely restores that sense of gratitude when you are playing the game and you’re on the field, especially in the major leagues, is a really special thing to be able to do,” Hoerner said. “I don’t think I’ve taken it for granted much before. But more than ever, when you’re hurt and you come back, you just kind of take a look up to the fans and everyone.”
