Nico Hoerner - Swipes another base Thursday Hoerner went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays.
Impact A day after going 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, Hoerner once again tallied two hits and tacked on another steal. The speedy infielder has now swiped 22 bases this season, and he's also batting .293. Hoerner doesn't hit for much power, as he only has four home runs in 116 games, but he derives fantasy value from his strong contact skills and ability on the basepaths.

Michael Busch - Goes deep again Thursday Busch went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays.
Impact Busch finished the series in Toronto with home runs on consecutive days, and he now has a career-high 24 long balls for the season along with a career-high 68 RBI. The first baseman gives the Cubs a powerful bat atop the lineup against righties, and while he doesn't offer a ton of speed on the bases, Busch has settled in as an effective albeit unconventional leadoff hitter.

Jeff Hoffman - Locks down 27th save Hoffman earned the save in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Cubs, allowing a hit while striking out three in the ninth inning.
Impact Hoffman worked around Nico Hoerner's one-out single, striking out the final two batters he faced, to earn his 27th save this season. After issuing five walks in just two-thirds of an inning in his last save chance, Hoffman has responded with back-to-back scoreless appearances, allowing just one hit over 1.2 innings in that span. His ERA sits at 4.32 through 50 innings this season with a 1.10 WHIP and 69:16 K:BB.
