He'll be assigned to Iowa.
Meanwhile, Cubs await Hoerner's MRI results for hamstring injury.
- This is awful.
This legit pissed me off. This was formerly named Loretta’s Lounge after Loretta Micele. She worked concessions for the Sox for 60 years. They dedicated it to her during the 2005 World Series. She gave so much to the organization and replacing her name to that of TLR is shameful. pic.twitter.com/mecpWbTMoU
