Hoerner (oblique) will continue workouts through the weekend with the intention of beginning a rehab assignment early next week, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
Hoerner has been out since late July with an oblique strain. It's not clear exactly how long his rehab assignment will be, and the rebuilding Cubs have no need to rush him back, but it looks as though he could return as soon as late next week if all goes well.
