BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 35% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Chicago Cubs first baseman/third baseman Michael Busch is worth checking your waiver wire for and should be rostered in all leagues.
Michael Busch, who joined the Cubs via a trade this winter, has been off to a hot start with his new team. Busch is riding an excellent .311/.385/.644 stat line with four home runs, nine RBI, and seven runs.
The 26-year-old is currently ranked in the 99th percentile with a .731 xSLG and in the 95th percentile with a 17.6% barrel rate, suggesting that his underlying metrics are very strong and that he could be in for a big summer.

Busch has usually been found batting in the six-hole, which should provide him with ample opportunities to score runs as Dansby Swanson and Christopher Morel are batting in front of him.
Michael Busch can provide you with a solid corner infield option and upside to be a starting first or third baseman in shallower formats with 20 home run potential. Busch should be on the scoresheet every day playing in a good lineup, making him a safe bet to improve your counting stats as well.
