  • Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Doubles machine Wednesday

    Hoerner went 4-for-9 with a walk, four doubles and five runs scored across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets.

    After enduring a brutal slump for much of June, Hoerner is showing signs of life lately. The speedy infielder has gone 8-for-23 across his last four games with six doubles and seven runs scored. Hoerner is still batting only .241 on the season, which is well below the level he's used to, but he has the contact skills to turn things around, and he's at his best when he's getting on regularly and swiping plenty of bases.

  • Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Sitting amid slump

    Hoerner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    The Cubs will go with Pedro Ramirez at second base in the series finale while the slumping Hoerner receives his first day off since May 25. While starting each of the Cubs' last 17 games, Hoerner slashed just .200/.250/.229 with zero home runs, two stolen bases, three RBI and three runs.

  • Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Reaches three times, steals base

    Hoerner went 1-for-2 with two walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Athletics.

    Hoerner has hits in three straight games and six of his last seven as he seems to be rounding back into form after a bit of a slump. The infielder is at his best when he's simply getting on first base due to his speed. Hoerner now has 12 stolen bases this year in 13 attempts, and he has 115 steals since the start of the 2023 season.

  • Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Records two hits, stolen base

    Hoerner went 2-for-6 with a stolen base and an RBI in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Cardinals.

    After a strong start to the season, it's mostly been a slog lately for Hoerner. He's batting just .206 in 27 May games with four stolen bases. In 31 games before May, the infielder batted .291 with seven steals. Hoerner's MLB track record suggests his numbers will climb again soon, and his ability to rack up stolen bases quickly continues to drive his fantasy value.

  • Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Day off Monday

    Hoerner is not in Monday's lineup against the Pirates.

    Hoerner is hitting .179 with two steals in his last 10 games. Recent call-up Pedro Ramirez gets the nod at the keystone, batting sixth.

  • Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Reaches three times in loss

    Hoerner went 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Brewers.

    Hoerner tallied his first multi-hit effort since May 10, and in seven games in between, he had gone just 4-for-28 before Tuesday's encouraging performance. It's been a struggle all month for the speedy infielder, who ended April batting .291 but is now down to .264. Hoerner still offers plenty of run-scoring potential atop Chicago's lineup along with the ability to swipe a base, and he's too good of a hitter to stay down for long.

  • Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Making return to lineup

    Hoerner (neck) will start at second base and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Hoerner was removed from Friday's game after experiencing tightness on the left side of his neck and then remained on the bench Saturday as well, but he feels well enough to give it a go in the series finale. The 28-year-old opened the season as the Cubs' No. 5 hitter but has climbed into the leadoff spot after producing a .374 OBP through his first 32 games.

  • Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Absent from Saturday's lineup

    Hoerner (neck) is not in the Cubs' starting lineup against the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

    Hoerner left Friday's game against Arizona due to neck tightness, and the injury will keep the veteran second baseman on the bench for Saturday's matinee. Matt Shaw will start at the keystone and bat eighth against right-hander Ryne Nelson.

  • Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Exits game with neck injury

    Hoerner was removed from Friday's game versus the Diamondbacks in the second inning with neck tightness, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

    Hoerner doubled and scored in the bottom of the first inning but was then pulled from the game when his spot in the order came up again in the second. It sounds like a day-to-day issue, but Hoerner's status shome become clearer after the contest.

  • Cubs' Nico Hoerner: Dealing with neck issue

    Hoerner was removed from Friday's game against the Diamondbacks due to left-sided neck tightness, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    The 28-year-old doubled and scored during the opening frame but was replaced by a pinch hitter during the second inning. The severity of the injury isn't clear, but the Cubs could offer some more information after Friday's contest. Hoerner should be considered day-to-day for now.
