Chris Denorfia

The Cubs enjoyed a 14-hit attack in a 5-0 win over the Pirates on Tuesday. Chris Denorfia got in on the act, going 3-for-6 with a double and a run scored. He increased his average to .289 for the season.

Fantasy Impact

Denorfia has a decent on-base percentage of .323, but has only 10 extra-base hits in 149 at-bats and no stolen bases. Owners should stay away from Denorfia unless in need of an extra outfielder in NL only leagues.

Chris Denorfia went 2-for-5 with a home run and 4 RBI in the Cubs' 17-0 win over the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Denorfia, who had four RBIs, doubled in the second and added a three-run homer in the third. He has been great when healthy this season. His batting line is at an impressive .396/.420/.521 to date, but with under 50 at-bats on the season it is tough to predict what to expect the rest of the way.

Chris Denorfia (hamstring) has resumed running the bases and is on the right track to being back on the field soon.

Fantasy Impact

Denorfia has been struggling with a left hamstring issue dating back to spring training. The Cubs need some help in left field right now, so it would be great to have Denorfia back. It appears they are bringing him back slowly so this issue does not stick around throughout the entire season.

Chicago Cubs have signed outfielder Chis Denorfia to a one year deal worth over $2.6M with incentives. Denorfia is penciled in as the left field platoon partner with Chris Coghlan.

Fantasy Impact

The right handed hitting Denorfia will have a part-time role for the Cubs, starting in left field whenever a southpaw is on the mound. Denorfia is a career .272 hitter, but when facing lefties his average jumps by 20 points. While Denorfia does not have much pop, he does possess a little speed as he has averaged over 10 steals in each of the last four seasons. Denorfia is not worth much in fantasy unless he can earn a full time role with Chicago.
