Michael Busch (1B,3B - CHC)

Michael Busch went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in the Cubs' 7-1 rout of the Red Sox.

Fantasy Impact
His performance included driving in a run, which contributed significantly to the team's offensive explosion. This game marks a continuation of Busch's solid hitting this season, maintaining a .289 batting average through 24 games. His ability to consistently get on base, evidenced by his .375 wOBA, makes him a valuable asset in fantasy lineups, especially in leagues that value extra-base hits and RBIs. However, fantasy managers should be wary of his high strikeout rate (0.326), which could be a concern if it starts impacting his batting average. Nonetheless, Busch's power potential, with six homers already, keeps him relevant in most fantasy formats.
