Records three hits Sunday Busch went 3-for-5 with a double and two runs scored in Sunday's 10-2 win over the Royals.

Impact Busch enjoyed a nice weekend series against Kansas City, going 6-for-12 with a walk and two runs scored across three games. It continues a good stretch of play this month for the first baseman, who is now sporting an .857 OPS with a home run, four runs scored and five RBI in nine August contests. Busch isn't quite matching last year's breakout campaign, but he's remained a solid fantasy contributor in 2026.

Goes deep Monday Busch went 2-for-4 with a home run and three total RBI in a 10-5 victory versus the Dodgers on Monday.

Impact Against the team that drafted him in 2019, Busch launched a solo homer in the fifth inning and added a two-run single in the sixth. The long ball snapped a 12-game homerless stretch for the first baseman, though he logged a healthy seven RBI during that stretch. Busch is far off the pace to reach the career-high 34 regular-season home runs he launched last year, but with 63 RBI through 112 games, he could challenge his career-best mark of 90 RBI, which was also established in 2025.
