Taking seat against lefty Busch is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Reds.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Busch started in the Cubs' previous matchup against a lefty starter (the Orioles' Trevor Rogers) on Friday, but manager Craig Counsell is not yet ready to deploy the 27-year-old versus same-handed pitching on a full-time basis. Justin Turner will spell Busch at first base as the Cubs go up against southpaw Nick Lodolo on Monday.

Hits leadoff home run Wednesday Busch went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 10-3 win over the Brewers.

Impact Busch started the game with a home run against Milwaukee starter Freddy Peralta, and while he didn't do anything from there, it was still a helpful effort for fantasy managers. The first baseman is settling in as Chicago's top leadoff option against righties, and he's having a productive season overall with 21 long balls and an .882 OPS across 102 games. The 21 homers matches Busch's total from last year, which was his first season with the Cubs.

Reaches three times in loss Busch went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Monday's 8-4 loss to the Brewers.

Impact As has become the norm recently against opposite-handed pitching, Busch batted leadoff with Milwaukee starting rookie righty Jacob Misiorowski. Busch has been tremendous in those matchups with a .958 OPS, 18 home runs and 56 RBI, while he frequently sits against southpaws. Even in this platoon arrangement, the 27-year-old has been able to be an impactful fantasy performer all season.

Hitting bench Sunday Busch isn't in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup versus Boston.

Impact With the Red Sox sending a southpaw starter (Garrett Crochet) to the mound, the lefty-hitting Busch will begin the game on the bench. It's the second straight time Busch isn't in the lineup against a left-handed starter, and the young slugger has posted a mediocre .613 OPS against southpaws this season. Justin Turner is getting a start at first base for the Cubs on Sunday.

Slugs 20th home run Busch went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Red Sox.

Impact Busch batted leadoff and started the game off for Chicago with his 20th home run of the season. The slugging first baseman is up to 60 RBI as well, putting him within striking distance of the 21 home runs and 65 RBI he recorded in 2024, which was his first year with the Cubs. Busch has also increased his OPS from .775 last season to .926 in 2025, and he's been a strong fantasy contributor across the board.
