Nico Hoerner went 3-for-5 with a run scored, two doubles, an RBI, and a stolen base to lift the Cubs to a 6-2 victory over the Angels on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Hoerner doubled twice off of Los Angeles starter, Yusei Kikuchi, and added a single for his first multi-hit game of the season. Hoerner has now recorded a hit in each of the last five games and is now batting .318 (7-for-22) with five runs scored, four doubles, and three RBI. His stolen base on Wednesday was his fourth of the season, tying him with Milwaukee's David Hamilton and Colorado's Jake McCarthy for the most in baseball.
Nico Hoerner went 1-for-2 with two runs scored, a double, a sacrifice fly, and a stolen base as the Cubs defeated the Angels, 7-2, on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Hoerner swiped his third bag of the season and is currently tied for the major league lead with Milwaukee's David Hamilton and Colorado's Jake McCarthy in steals on the young season. Hoerner is 3-for-13 (.231) with four runs scored, two doubles, and a 3:2 BB:K ratio through four contests.
Nico Hoerner went 1-for-3 with a run scored, an RBI, two walks, and a stolen base as the Cubs earned a 10-2 win over the Nationals on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Hoerner picked up his first hit of the season with an RBI double in the bottom of the fifth inning. He is 1-for-7 with a pair of walks and a stolen base in the first two games of the year. Hoerner should steal 25-30 bags and hit around .280, but is not much of a power threat. He hit a career-high 10 home runs in 2022.
Nico Hoerner has agreed to a six-year contract extension with the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact
The deal is still pending a physical, but this will put to bed any rumblings of the Cubs potentially trading Hoerner any time soon. The two-time Gold Glove winner, who hit .297 with 29 steals and 89 runs scored in 2025, was the subject of some rumors over the offseason, as he was previously set to become a free agent at the end of the 2026 season.
The Red Sox are “among the many teams that have checked in” on Nico Hoerner.
Fantasy Impact
Hoerner has had his name in the middle of trade talks for the majority of the offseason, but they have been a bit quieter recently. If he is traded, it would likely happen in the next couple of weeks with spring training around the corner.
