Busch went 2-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, two RBI and three runs scored in Thursday's 8-0 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Busch extended his hitting streak to eight games, and he has eight hits in the last three contests alone. The first baseman has used the hot streak to push his batting average up to .278 and his OPS to a robust .853. Busch continues to see regular playing time in his first season with the Cubs, and he should remain locked into fantasy lineups, particularly while he's producing like this.

Busch went 4-for-6 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-2 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Busch got the scoring started Tuesday by taking Dean Kremer deep in the top of the first and kept it going by registering his first four-hit game of the season. Busch has homered in back-to-back games, and the two homers match the total he had in his previous 32 games combined. The 26-year-old now has 12 homers, which are tied with Jackson Merrill and Colton Cowser for the most by a rookie this season.

Busch went 4-for-6 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 9-2 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

It was Busch's first four-hit effort of the season as he raised his batting average from .264 to .273. The 26-year-old is enjoying a good first year in Chicago with the solid average along with 12 home runs and an .838 OPS across 85 games. After not really getting an opportunity to break in with the Dodgers, Busch has found an everyday role and has developed into a solid fantasy contributor.

Busch went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 5-0 win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Busch has gone 8-for-25 (.320) with four extra-base hits across his last seven games. His homer provided the Cubs' last runs in the seventh inning of Sunday's win, though he also generated a run despite grounding into a double play in the fifth. The corner infielder is at a .264/.359/.457 slash line with 11 homers, 32 RBI, 40 runs scored and one stolen base across 301 plate appearances this season. Busch isn't strictly limited to a strong-side platoon role, but he'll still sit against some southpaws.

Busch is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Southpaw Cristopher Sanchez will be toeing the rubber for the Phillies, so the left-handed hitting Busch will grab a seat. Patrick Wisdom will handle first base and also the second spot in the Cubs' batting order.

Busch went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Busch continues his strong first season with the Cubs, and he's now recorded a hit in eight of his last 10 games. Overall, the first baseman is slashing .262/.359/.448. Busch is also batting a solid .303 against lefties, though the Cubs have been generally limiting his exposure to southpaws. Even if Busch sees some days off here and there due to matchups, he's still looking like a decent fantasy option the rest of the year.

Busch went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 5-3 win against Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Busch helped Chicago get off to a fast start by belting a two-run homer in the first inning. The long ball was just his second of June, though he's hit well outside of the power department with a .310 average over 24 contests. Busch has reached base via hit or walk in 21 of 24 games this month, and two of the three times he didn't do so were contests in which he didn't start.

Busch is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets are sending southpaw Jose Quintana to the bump, which means Busch will begin this one on the bench. Patrick Wisdom is getting the start at first base.

Busch went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk against the Giants in Monday's loss.

EDGE Analysis

Busch gave Chicago its first lead with a two-run blast to center field in the sixth inning. It was his first long ball over his past 17 contests and just his second across his past 32 games. Busch began the campaign with six homers through 16 contests, so the fact that he's still yet to reach double digits in that category emphasizes the extent to which he's slowed down. Still, the first baseman has been hitting well lately, batting .370 over his past 27 at-bats.

Busch is absent from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Right-hander Andre Pallante is starting for the Cardinals and has reverse splits, so Busch will begin this one on the bench. Cody Bellinger is handling first base and Pete Crow-Armstrong will patrol center field.
