Scores twice, steals base in win Hoerner went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 10-2 win over the Tigers. He also stole a base.

Impact Hoerner has been slumping a bit lately, batting just .237 with a .275 on-base percentage over his last 10 games, but he continues to boost his overall fantasy value with his ability to run.

Productive in loss Hoerner went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Guardians. He also stole two bases.

Impact Hoerner was a bright spot for Chicago amid a poor offensive performance, as the rest of the team combined for only three hits. The infielder also stole multiple bases in a game for the third time this season. Hoerner is now up to 22 stolen bases overall, and his ability to run is the main source of his fantasy value, as he doesn't offer much power.

Homers in win Friday Hoerner went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-6 win over the White Sox.

Impact Hoerner isn't known as much of a power threat, as this was just his fifth home run of the season and first since June 30. Instead, the infielder is known for his speed, with 20 stolen bases for the season after swiping a career-high 43 bases last year. Hoerner has been making more solid contact lately, and if he can continue to get on base regularly, he should be able to make an impact on the basepaths for fantasy managers.

Steals base, scores twice in win Hoerner went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Twins. He also stole a base.

Impact Hoerner reached 20 stolen bases in a season for the third straight year as he continued his strong recent play. Over his last 10 games, the infielder is batting .302, and he's swiped six bases in that span. Hoerner isn't a huge power threat with just four home runs on the season, but he can be an effective fantasy asset when he's reaching base and running often.

On the year, he is hitting .257 with four home runs, 34 RBI, 55 runs scored and 19 stolen bases across 448 plate appearances.
