Nico Hoerner powers Cubs to narrow victory
by Chris Schommer | Cubs Correspondent | Sat, Aug 10th 9:57am EDT
Nico Hoerner went 2-for-5 with a home run and an RBI in the Cubs' 7-6 win over the White Sox.
Fantasy Impact:
His performance included a crucial home run, contributing significantly to the Cubs' narrow victory. This season, Hoerner has been somewhat inconsistent with a .256 batting average and only five home runs over 109 games. However, his speed remains an asset, with 20 stolen bases to his credit. Fantasy managers should view Hoerner as a middle-infield option who can contribute modestly across several categories, particularly in leagues that value stolen bases and runs scored. His power surge in this game is encouraging, but it's likely more of an anomaly than a sign of a power breakout.
