• Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Goes deep in rout

  09/27/2025 • By RotoWire

  Hoerner went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 12-1 win over the Cardinals. Hoerner popped his seventh home run of the season in the first inning, as he was one of four Chicago players to go deep. The speedy infielder isn't known for his power -- his career high in homers is only 10 -- and he appears likely to finish with a single-digit total for the third straight year. Hoerner is a great source of steals, however, as he has 29 of them this season in 35 attempts, and he's swiped 103 bags since the start of 2023.

  09/24/2025 • By RotoWire

  Hoerner went 3-for-5 with an RBI and four runs scored in Tuesday's 9-7 loss to the Mets. He also stole a base. With New York starting lefty David Peterson, Hoerner batted leadoff instead of Michael Busch, and the former responded with a standout performance. The speedy infielder set a new season high in runs scored, and he's been red hot lately with a .412 batting average over his last 12 games. Hoerner also has 29 stolen bases this season, putting him within striking distance of his third straight 30-steal campaign.

  09/15/2025 • By RotoWire

  Hoerner went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Rays. The infielder came up clutch for Chicago, driving in three of the team's four runs, beginning with an RBI single in the first inning to score leadoff-man Michael Busch. Hoerner later delivered the decisive blow in the seventh, lacing a two-run double that gave the Cubs a lead they wouldn't surrender. The 28-year-old has been a steady force at the plate of late, recording hits in 18 of his last 21 games, including 10 multi-hit efforts. Over that span, Hoerner is batting .354 with 10 RBI, 16 runs scored, nine doubles and four stolen bases across 91 plate appearances.

  09/14/2025 • By RotoWire

  Hoerner went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Rays. Hoerner extended his hitting streak to eight games, and he has multiple hits in each of his last three contests. The speedy infielder is now batting .297 for the season, which would be his best average since he hit .302 across only 44 games back in 2021. Hoerner is also up to 27 stolen bases this year, and if he swipes three more bags he'll reach the 30-steal plateau for the third straight season.

Hoerner remains a useful fantasy asset due to his contact skills and ability to swipe bags.
