In the latest update from Cubs Spring Training in Mesa, Arizona, both Nico Hoerner and Matt Shaw are in the spotlight for their recovery timelines. While Hoerner has been ruled out for the Japan series, he is expected to be ready for the domestic opener on March 27. Shaw's situation remains uncertain, with Craig Council hinting he may still join the Japan trip, depending on his performance in upcoming games. With Justin Turner taking extra reps at third base, the Cubs are bracing for potential shifts in their infield. Meanwhile, Jordan Wicks is set to showcase his skills as he battles for a rotation spot after a successful debut season last year. As the Cubs prepare for their season, fans are eager for updates on these players and their impact on the roster.
