    • Nico Hoerner available off bench on Tuesday vs. Rays
      Nico Hoerner (hand) remains absent from the lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Rays.

      Advice: Cubs manager Craig Counsell told reporters Hoerner is available off the bench after getting through an extensive hitting session on Tuesday afternoon. There’s some optimism the 27-year-old second baseman will be able to play through the issue, and should return to the lineup soon, but he remains on the bench to open a three-game set down in Tampa Bay.

    • On bench again Tuesday
      Hoerner (hand) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Rays.

      Advice: Hoerner is dealing with a small fracture in his right hand and will miss a fourth straight start. According to Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times, the 27-year-old partook in a hitting session Tuesday and will be available off the bench, and he could be back in the lineup for Wednesday's contest. Michael Busch is getting a second straight start at second base Tuesday. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:02 pm

    • Reaches three times in win
      Kim went 1-for-1 with two walks, two RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 6-1 victory against Oakland.

      Advice: Kim gave San Diego its first lead with an RBI single in the fourth inning and plated the team's final run with a sacrifice fly in the seventh. The shortstop added a stolen base in the victory, giving him 14 on the campaign. Kim has struggled at the plate for much of the early part of the season but may be starting to heat up, going 4-for-12 with two homers, seven RBI and four walks over his past four contests.

    • Tallies three hits Monday
      Merrill went 3-for-4 with a double, a run and an RBI in Monday's 6-1 victory over the Athletics.

      Advice: The bottom third of San Diego's order produced half of the team's 10 hits, with Merrill's three knocks leading the way. The exciting young outfielder extended his current hitting streak to six games, and he's batting .391 (9-for-23) over that stretch. Merrill is holding his own in his rookie campaign, slashing .281/.316/.367 with three homers, 24 RBI, 26 runs and nine stolen bases through 236 plate appearances.

    • Sitting as expected Sunday
      Hoerner (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Cincinnati.

      Advice: The 27-year-old was diagnosed with a small fracture in his hand Saturday after being hit by a pitch Thursday, so it's not a surprise he's sitting for the series finale versus the Reds. Hoerner won't necessarily require a trip to the injured list, and he may be able to play through the injury once the swelling subsides. Michael Busch will handle the keystone Sunday for the Cubs.

    • Nico Hoerner (hand) out again Sunday vs. Reds
      Nico Hoerner (hand) is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Reds.

      Advice: Hoerner is dealing with a small fracture in his right hand, and he won’t be able to play until the pain and swelling are able to subside. While Hoerner is out, Michael Busch will handle second base duties. Hoerner should be considered day-to-day, but a trip to the injured list can’t be ruled out just yet. Rotoworld Sunday, 8:01 am

    • Ha-Seong Kim swats three-run homer in blowout
      Ha-Seong Kim hit a three-run homer in a blowout win for the Padres on Saturday over the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Kim also walked. The shortstop’s three-run blast extended San Diego’s lead to 4-0 and gave Kim nine on the 2024 campaign. Kim has provided some power/speed over the first two-plus months of the season, and it’s helped made up for a batting average of just .224. Rotoworld Saturday, 10:09 pm

    • Homers in back-to-back games
      Kim went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 13-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Kim has gone deep in back-to-back games, and he's logged seven extra-base hits among his 10 knocks over the last 10 games. The shortstop started the season slow, but it appears he's starting to find a groove. He's up to nine homers, 32 RBI, 35 runs scored, 13 stolen bases and a .224/.333/.404 slash line through 67 contests. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:43 pm

    • Counsell: Nico Hoerner has small fracture in hand
      Cubs manager Craig Counsell told reporters Saturday that Nico Hoerner has been diagnosed with a small fracture in his right hand.

      Advice: Counsell added that team doctors are comfortable with Hoerner returning to action if the pain and swelling subside in his right hand. It sounds like the club is going to take a few additional days before making a decision on whether he’ll require a trip to the injured list. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.
