Hoerner went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Thursday's win over the Brewers.
Chicago entered the fifth inning down 1-0 but Hoerner helped spark a rally with his two-run blast against Milwaukee ace Corbin Burnes. Hoerner figures to see regular playing time at shortstop while Andrelton Simmons (shoulder) is out, and the former has the offensive skills to be a fantasy contributor.
