Cubs' Michael Busch: Plates four in rout
Busch went 3-for-6 with a home run, two total runs and four total RBI against the Athletics in an 18-3 win Monday. Busch was one of four Chicago players with three or more hits in the offensive onslaught. He hit the first homer of the game for Chicago, knocking a two-run shot to right-center field in the first inning. The long ball was the first extra-base hit of the season for Busch, who had gone just 4-for-18 at the plate prior to Monday's big performance.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Michael Busch: Back in lineup Monday
Busch is starting at first base and batting fourth in Monday's game against the Athletics. After getting a day off Sunday against a southpaw, Busch slots back in as the Cubs' cleanup hitter. The 27-year-old is off to a mediocre start, as he's gone 4-for-21 with no extra-base hits or RBI through six contests, though he should see ample opportunities against righties to begin delivering some counting stats soon....

Cubs' Michael Busch: Sitting against southpaw
Busch is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks. The lefty-hitting Busch will get his first game off of the season while the Diamondbacks send a southpaw (Eduardo Rodriguez) to the hill for a day game after a night game. Justin Turner will fill in for Busch at first base.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Michael Busch: Off to fast start
Busch went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's Cactus League game against the White Sox. Busch is now 4-for-6 overall through two spring training appearances with three RBI. The 27-year-old is entrenched as Chicago's top option at first base, though the recent addition of Justin Turner gives the Cubs a veteran alternative. The two could work in a platoon to start the year with the lefty-hitting Busch serving on the strong side, but a prolonged slump by either player could swing playing time more in the opposite direction....

Cubs' Michael Busch: Not an option at third base
Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer indicated Tuesday that Busch is not under consideration to play third base and will instead remain focused on first base, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports. The Cubs have an opening at the hot corner following the trade of Isaac Paredes and Busch has some experience at third base. However, the team views Busch as a potential Gold Glove-caliber first baseman and wants him to remain there. Top prospect Matt Shaw looks to be the current favorite to start at third base....

Cubs' Michael Busch: Remaining out Wednesday
Busch (triceps) isn't in the Cubs' lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Phillies. Busch departed Tuesday's game early after getting hit in the arm by a pitch, and he'll now take a day off to recover during Wednesday's series finale. His absence will put Cody Bellinger at first base, opening up right field for Kevin Alcantara to make his MLB debut while batting ninth.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Michael Busch: Homers in three-hit effort
Busch went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 9-5 loss to the Rockies. Busch went deep with two runners on in the eighth inning, giving him 18 home runs and 59 RBI for the season. The 26-year-old is enjoying his first year in Chicago, as he's gotten a chance to play regularly at first base and is sporting a respectable .778 OPS across 138 games. With this being his first real taste of extended MLB action, Busch could be poised for a step forward in 2025 now that he has more experience under his belt.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Michael Busch: Taking seat Sunday
Busch is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees. Busch went 1-for-17 while starting the past seven games but will sit Sunday against New York righty Gerrit Cole. Cody Bellinger will shift to first base while Mike Tauchman receives a start in right field.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Michael Busch: Reaches four times in romp
Busch went 3-for-5 with a walk, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 14-2 win over the Marlins. Busch chipped in three of his team's 17 total hits as the offense carried the Cubs to victory. The young first baseman continues to have a productive first season in Chicago, as he's batting .258 with a .795 OPS across 123 games. With the Cubs giving Pete Crow-Armstrong an extended look in center field, Cody Bellinger has had to play elsewhere, including in right and serving as the DH, as he did Saturday. Bellinger is also an option to play at first when he's not in center, but so far, the Cubs have opted to keep Busch in the lineup as often as possible except against lefty starters.... See More ...

Cubs' Michael Busch: Idle against lefty
Busch is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians. The lefty-hitting Busch will take a seat Tuesday as southpaw Matthew Boyd takes the mound for Cleveland. Patrick Wisdom will bat fifth and play first base.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Michael Busch: Getting night off
Busch is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox. Busch had started the Cubs' first seven games of August -- going 7-for-24 with three homers -- but will get some rest Friday. In his place, Patrick Wisdom will play first base and bat second.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Michael Busch: Homers in win Wednesday
Busch went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 8-2 win over the Twins. After going 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in Monday's game against his hometown team, Busch ended the series on a high note. The first baseman clobbered his 16th home run of the season and fourth in his last 10 games. If he can stay healthy, Busch seems primed to reach the 20-homer plateau for the first time in his young career in what's been a nice debut campaign with the Cubs.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Michael Busch: Homers again in loss
Busch went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Cardinals. Busch hit a two-run homer in the first inning and singled in the fifth. He has gone just 6-for-33 in his past 10 games, but three of those hits have left the park. On the season, the first baseman is hitting .260 with 15 home runs, 43 RBI and 52 runs scored across 392 plate appearances.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Michael Busch: Taking seat Wednesday
Busch is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds. Busch will be joined on the bench by fellow left-handed hitter Mike Tauchman while the Reds send southpaw Nick Lodolo to the hill. Patrick Wisdom will cover first base in Busch's stead.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Michael Busch: Blasts 13th home run
Busch went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and a walk in Monday's 7-1 loss to the Reds. Busch provided the only offense for the Cubs on Monday with a solo home run off Buck Farmer in the ninth inning. Busch's 13 homers are the second most by a rookie in MLB this season, trailing Colton Cowser (15). Busch continues his strong rookie campaign with a solid month of July in which he's hitting .273 with a .780 OPS.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Michael Busch: Provides offense Monday
Busch went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's 7-1 loss to the Reds. Busch connected for his 13th home run of the season in the ninth inning, giving the Cubs a small bit of positivity in a lopsided loss. The 26-year-old has been a positive all year with an .804 OPS across 101 games. There were some questions in the offseason about Busch's potential role with the Cubs, but he's seized a regular job at first base with his solid play and should stick there the rest of the way....

Cubs' Michael Busch: Records two hits off bench
Busch went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Royals. Busch entered as a pinch-hitter for Christopher Morel in the fourth inning, with the latter getting traded to the Rays mid-game as part of the package for Isaac Paredes. Busch then proceeded to snap out of an 0-for-14 slump with the multi-hit afternoon. Paredes figures to replace Morel at third for the Cubs, so Busch should stick as the team's primary first baseman following his interrupted day of rest Sunday.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Michael Busch: Sitting Sunday
Busch is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against Kansas City. The lefty-hitting Busch will take a seat Sunday with the Royals sending southpaw Cole Ragans to the mound. Patrick Wisdom will start at first base and bat second.... See More ... See Less -
Cubs' Michael Busch: Stellar offensive display in win
Busch went 4-for-6 with a solo home run and an additional run in Tuesday's 9-2 win over the Orioles. 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, with the two blasts matching the total he had in his previous 32 games combined. The 26-year-old has now left the yard on 12 occasions overall, tying him with Jackson Merrill and Colton Cowser for the most by a rookie this season.... See More ... See Less
