Congratulations to Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner, who was named National League Player of the Week today.

The 28-year-old hit .346 (9-for-26) with two homers, 11 RBI, a walk, four runs scored, two stolen bases, a .577 slugging percentage and a .357 on-base percentage.

Nico tied for the Major League lead in RBI and tied for third among National League hitters in hits; tied for fourth in the NL in stolen bases; and tied for seventh in the NL in total bases (15).

For the season, Hoerner is batting .325/.402/.518 with seven steals and a MLB leading 21 RBI. If he keeps up this pace he’ll be a candidate for Player of the Month. He’s posted 1.7 bWAR in just 21 games.

The previous Cub to win NL Player of the Week was Seiya Suzuki, who won it for the week ending Sept. 28, 2025.
