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

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

Cubs' Michael Busch: Getting day off
Busch is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
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.

Cubs' Michael Busch: Slugs homer No. 10
Busch went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Tigers.
The first baseman crushed a Keider Montero changeup 414 feet down the right-field line in the fifth inning, the first of three Chicago long balls off the Detroit right-hander and one of five Cubs homers on the day. 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.

Cubs' Michael Busch: Getting breather Friday
Busch is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers.
Busch will get the night off Friday against ace lefty Tarik Skubal, after making four straight starts at first base. The 27-year-old Busch is riding a seven-game hit streak, and he's 10-for-23 with two homers and a 4:3 BB:K during that stretch. Justin Turner will bat eighth and play first base Friday.

Cubs' Michael Busch: Leads charge Tuesday
Busch went 3-for-4 with a walk, a triple, a home run, an additional run scored and three RBI in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Nationals.
Busch was the only Chicago player with multiple hits as he powered the lineup from the No. 5 spot. The infielder is now riding a modest five-game hitting streak, and he's been good all season with nine home runs, 36 RBI and an .895 OPS through 56 games. The OPS would easily be a new career best for the 27-year-old.

Cubs' Michael Busch: Big game in win
Busch went 2-for-2 with two walks, a home run and three RBI in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Reds.
Busch had a big afternoon to lead the Cubs to another victory, and he recorded his first multi-hit effort since May 18. The slugging infielder has been a steady fantasy contributor all season, as he now has eight home runs, 33 RBI and an .852 OPS. The OPS would be a new career best for Busch, who could also surpass his career highs of 21 home runs and 65 RBI, both of which he posted last year.

Cubs' Michael Busch: Sitting against southpaw
Busch is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
Busch will sit for the third time in five games, with all of his absences coming against left-handed pitching. The Cubs appear to be viewing Busch as a pure platoon player, as he's logged just 25 plate appearances against lefties all season and is slashing just .143/.280/.190 in those matchups. Justin Turner will replace Busch at first base.

Cubs' Michael Busch: Logs steal in win
Busch went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and one RBI in Sunday's 6-2 win over the White Sox.
Busch has gone 8-for-29 (.276) over his last eight games, though he also has a 3:8 BB:K in that span. The first baseman contributed an RBI in the Cubs' sixth-inning rally that helped secure the win, and he also logged his first steal since April 20 versus the Diamondbacks. The first baseman has a career-high three steals already, so don't expect too much more in the speed department. Busch has added a .255/.355/.463 slash line, seven home runs, 25 RBI, 21 runs scored, eight doubles and a triple over 44 contests.
