Dansby Swanson - Shows off wheels Saturday Swanson went 1-for-4 with a triple, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Twins.

Impact Swanson tallied his third triple of the season as he helped lead the Cubs to the victory Saturday afternoon. The veteran shortstop is batting just .209, which is down from his career .248 mark, though he's still managed to provide fantasy value with 16 home runs and 13 stolen bases. Swanson has also played in all but four of Chicago's games so far, and he should continue to see consistent playing time during the second half as he seeks his second straight 20-20 campaign.

Michael Busch - Launches 12th home run Saturday Busch went 1-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Twins.

Impact Busch also struck out three times Saturday, but fantasy managers will surely take the power production, as he's now up to 12 home runs and 51 RBI through 97 games. The Chicago first baseman is riding a modest four-game hitting streak, which has helped push his overall slash line up to .239/.367/.400. The batting average and slugging percentage are down from Busch's breakout 2025 regular season, though his current on-base percentage would represent a new career best.

Nico Hoerner - Tallies four hits in win Hoerner went 4-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Twins.

Impact Hoerner set a new season high in hits as he helped power the Cubs to their first win of the second half. The speedy infielder came into the All-Star break mired in a 1-for-18 slump over his previous five games, but he's started the series against Minnesota by going 6-for-8 over two contests. Hoerner is still batting just .243 for the season, though his career .277 mark suggests there is room for improvement during the stretch run.
