Michael Busch blasts off, but Cubs fall short

by Chris Schommer | Cubs Correspondent | Sun, Aug 4th 8:06am EDT

Michael Busch had a solid performance in the Cubs' narrow 5-4 loss to the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact:

He went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI. This outing showcased Busch's power potential, as he added his 15th homer of the season. Despite the Cubs' loss, Busch's ability to contribute significantly in the power categories is a positive sign for fantasy managers. His season-long stats, including a .260 average, suggest he's a valuable asset, especially in leagues that reward extra-base hits and RBI. However, his high strikeout rate remains a concern, potentially capping his batting average upside.
