Nico Hoerner delivers in Cubs' narrow loss to Cardinals
by Chris Schommer | Cubs Correspondent | Sun, May 26th 6:28am EDT
Nico Hoerner went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in the Cubs' 7-6 loss to the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact:
Hoerner's performance, which included driving in a pair of crucial runs, was a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing outcome for Chicago. With a season batting average now at .263 and a modest uptick in his RBI count to 17, Hoerner continues to be a steady, if not spectacular, option at shortstop in fantasy lineups. His ability to contribute across multiple categories, albeit inconsistently, keeps him relevant, especially in deeper leagues or formats that reward middle infield production. However, his limited power and speed numbers suggest his ceiling may not be much higher than what he's currently producing.
