2 years agoChicago Cubs shortstop Nico Hoerner hit a home run against the Los Angeles Dodgers Friday, his fifth of the season. He didn't reach base in any of his three other plate appearances. Hoerner has performed admirably this year with a .757 OPS, five homers, and seven steals. He's been even better over his last 15 games with a .390/.438/.542 slash line in 64 plate appearances. Hoerner should continue to garner plenty of playing time and bat in the middle of the order for a very pedestrian Cubs team.--Doug Goldring - RotoBaller
