| Chicago White Sox first baseman Andrew Vaughn will miss a few more days as he deals with low back soreness. Brenton Kemp Sat, Mar 18th | Manager David Ross told reporters that Nico Hoerner would bat leadoff for the Cubs to begin the season. Kelly Kirby - The Wonkypenguin Thu, Mar 2nd | |
| Notes | ||
| The biggest plus Andrew Vaughn has going this season is that Tony La Russa won't be there to block his playing time. He should also get to move back to the infield and play 1B now that Jose Abreu is in Houston. Vaughn has underestimated power and maintains a good batting average. With everyday playing time, 2023 could be a big year of growth for the 24-year-old. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros | Nico Hoerner should be the Cubs' everyday second baseman, and he should bat near the top of the lineup. He hit 10 HR and stole 20 bases while slashing .281/.327/.410 in 2022, even though he appeared in only 135 games. He is an intriguing later-round option who could nicely fill a MI slot and provide some speed/average help. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros | |
