Busch went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk and three total RBI in a 12-3 victory versus Houston on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Busch plated the first run of the game when he drew a bases-loaded walk in the first inning. He added a solo homer in the fourth and capped his performance with a run-scoring single in the eighth. The first baseman has been quite productive of late, swatting three homers and driving in 10 runs over his past eight contests. He has 14 long balls and 49 runs batted in on the campaign, putting him well ahead of pace to surpass his marks of 21 home runs and 65 RBI last season.

Busch is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Busch will cede to Justin Turner against left-hander Brandon Walter. In his last nine games, Busch is 12-for-34 (.353) with a pair of home runs.

Busch went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Busch's second-inning homer stood as the game-winner, and he later came around to score again in the fourth. The 27-year-old has enjoyed a stellar June, going deep six times with 16 RBI and a .994 OPS across 21 games. On the season, he's slashing .273/.363/.506 with 13 home runs, 46 RBI, 36 runs scored and four steals over 284 plate appearances.

Busch went 2-for-5 with an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 8-0 win over the Cardinals. He also stole a base.

EDGE Analysis

Busch continued to pound right-handed pitching, as he helped lead an onslaught against St. Louis starter Erick Fedde, who lasted only 3.2 innings. On the season, the infielder has a robust .948 OPS against righties compared to a lowly .388 OPS against southpaws, albeit in a limited sample. Busch also swiped just his fourth bag of the year, giving him two more steals than he had in 2024.

Busch is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

St. Louis is starting lefty Matthew Liberatore, so Busch will head to the bench while Justin Turner starts at first base in his stead. Busch has been good this season with an .869 OPS, 12 home runs and 44 RBI through 72 games, but he's gone just 4-for-33 with 10 strikeouts against southpaws, so he will likely continue to be a platoon player who plays primarily against righties.

Busch went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Busch deposited a ball into the Wrigley Field bleachers during the third inning. The first baseman is in the midst of a breakout season, slashing .272/.367/.509 with 28 extra-base hits and 44 RBI through 71 games.

Busch went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's 3-2, 10-inning win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Busch continued his steady, impressive season, as he's now batting .295 this month and .265 for the year. The infielder also has a solid .861 OPS, and he's been a mainstay near the middle of Chicago's lineup. Busch remains vulnerable against left-handed pitching, but he has plenty of fantasy value as a dangerous run producer against righties.

Busch is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Busch went 3-for-17 with a pair of home runs while starting in each of the Cubs' last four games, but as per usual, he'll take a seat with a lefty (Jesus Luzardo) starting for the opposition. Justin Turner will spell Busch at first base.

Busch went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Busch took Mick Abel deep to center in the fourth to push the Cubs in front 3-2. Busch now has four homers in nine games during June and has at least a hit in 11 of his last 12 games, slashing .325/.400/.725 over that span. Despite being hot at the plate, Busch has not received many plate appearances versus left-handed pitching and may find himself on the bench the next two days with the Cubs set to face Jesus Luzardo and Andrew Heaney.

Busch went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Busch has gone yard four times in his last five starts while hitting safely in eight straight games, pushing his slash line on the season to .276/.377/.521 with 10 home runs and 38 RBI in 60 contests.
