Nico Hoerner Shows Speed in Cubs' Narrow Loss
by Emily Maingi | Cubs Correspondent | Wed, Aug 14th 11:55am EDT
Nico Hoerner went 2-for-4 in the Cubs' 2-1 loss to the Guardians, including a double, one run scored, and two stolen bases.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the team's defeat, Hoerner's individual performance was a bright spot, particularly his ability to swipe bases, which has been a consistent part of his game this season. With 22 stolen bases now, he continues to provide solid value in that category. However, his overall batting average of .256 and modest power numbers (only 5 homers) might limit his appeal to fantasy managers looking for a more well-rounded offensive contributor. His speed and regular playtime are his main fantasy assets, making him a viable option in deeper leagues or as a middle infielder in formats that heavily reward stolen bases.
