September 15, 2024 11:11 PM : Busch went 3-for-5 with two solo home runs and an additional RBI in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Rockies.
Analysis: Busch was out of the starting lineup Saturday but returned with a bang Sunday and enjoyed the series finale at Coors Field. The 26-year-old reached 20 home runs for the first time in his young career, which should solidify his role as Chicago's first baseman moving into 2025 and beyond. Busch has been limited to just 80 at-bats against lefties all season, which has limited his upside to a degree, but he's still been a pleasant surprise for fantasy purposes after coming into the year with a very limited MLB track record.
