June 11, 2025 11:01 AM : Busch is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
Analysis: Busch went 3-for-17 with a pair of home runs while starting in each of the Cubs' last four games, but as per usual, he'll take a seat with a lefty (Jesus Luzardo) starting for the opposition. Justin Turner will spell Busch at first base.
