July 20, 2025 11:56 AM : Busch isn't in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup versus Boston.
Analysis: With the Red Sox sending southpaw Garrett Crochet to the mound, Busch will begin the game on the bench. It's the second straight time he's been held out against a left-hander, and the 27-year-old slugger has posted a mediocre .613 OPS against southpaws this season. Justin Turner will start at first base for the Cubs on Sunday.
