Nico Hoerner Stats

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant is not in the clubs starting lineup for Fridays contest versus the White Sox and right-hander Dylan Cease. Nico Hoerner will instead man the hot corner with Bryant getting a day off amidst another cold spell at the dish. With just a .301 SLG on the year, Bryant has gone homerless in each of his past 20 games, driving in just one run in that stretch. At this stage, injuries are clearly hampering Bryants ability to be a fantasy asset, as fantasy managers can look elsewhere for production both over the final weekend and heading into the playoffs.

Chicago Cubs second baseman Nick Hoerner went 2-for-4 with three RBI, one run and a stolen base on Thursday versus the Reds. Hoerner was lifted in the bottom of the seventh inning for pinch-runner Billy Hamilton. The youngster has split his time at second base with veteran Jason Kipnis and neither has ran away with the full time lead. Hoerner is now hitting .247 with 13 RBI and three stolen bases. He can be avoided in all formats outside of DFS for now.

Chicago Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner went 3-for-3 with two runs, one RBI and a walk on Wednesday against the Detroit Tigers. Hoerner is beginning to heat up again and has six hits over his last 14 at-bats with four runs, three RBI and a pair of stolen bases. Hoerner has been splitting time with Jason Kipnis at second base and makes more sense in DFS than redraft leagues at the moment.
