Chicago Cubs DFS SPIN
Nico Hoerner went 0-for-2 with a walk, stolen base, and run scored in a tough 2-1 loss to the Nationals Wednesday. Nationals starter Jake Irvin plunked Hoerner to start Wednesday’s showdown, and Hoerner quickly swiped his eleventh steal after Dansby Swanson was called out on strikes. He would score the first run after Seiya Suzuki swatted a ball into left field. Sadly, it would be only run the Cubs would score as they fell 2-1 to the Nationals. The 25-year-old is thriving at the top of the Cubs lineup and is hitting .305/.352/.405 with two homers and eleven stolen bases across 142 plate appearances.
Washington Nationals DFS SPIN
Victor Robles went 2-for-2 with two stolen bases Wednesday in the Nationals’ 2-1 loss to the Cubs. Robles has 12 hits in his last 40 plate appearances, with five stolen bases during that time. While the 25-year-old isn’t hitting for power, he raised his slash line to .302/.394/.372 after Wednesday’s two-hit parade. Until he begins hitting balls with more authority, he should only be rostered in deeper mixed leagues.
