The 109.6-mph liner to right in the second innings was Busch’s first ever homer in Busch Stadium. He later added a 106.3-mph single off Andre Pallante. Busch isn’t going to be an NL All-Star unless a couple of first basemen drop out, but he does have the numbers; he’s batting .311/.386/.608 with six homers in June, elevating his season OPS to .869.

Imanage allowed just two hard-hit balls, both coming on the six sweepers he threw this afternoon. His 46 fastballs produced five outs and 27 strikes, with 19 of those coming on foul balls, and he struck out three. Imanaga, who had been out since early May with a hamstring strain, moved to 4-2 with a 2.54 ERA on the season. He’ll face the Guardians next time out.

Things got a little heated afterwards, as Palencia was feeling very celebratory and former Cub Willson Contreras, who was on base because of a HBP, took some issue with the proceedings. Palencia notched his eighth save in nine tries. Until he gives the Cubs reason to make a change, he should continue to close over Porter Hodge and company.

Fulmer was brought up to the active roster on Monday and threw three shutout innings while allowing two hits and striking out one. With Shota Imanaga back from injury, the Cubs needed a roster spot and decided to move on from Fulmer. He’ll likely latch on with somebody else or look for another chance with the Cubs.

Santana had a terrific final two weeks of May, but that’s really the only thing keeping his stat line afloat. He’s come in at .169/.220/.260 with an unusually poor 20/5 K/BB ratio in 82 plate appearances this month. He had a 37/30 K/BB in 220 plate appearances over the first two months.

Torkelson’s 17th homer was a solo blast off Jeffrey Springs in the second inning. The 25-year-old also singled and came around to score on a triple by Zach McKinstry. Torkelson’s best season of his MLB career has him slashing .224/.328/.474 with the aforementioned homer total and 50 runs driven in; putting him just short of a 100-RBI pace.

X-rays have already return negative for Guerrero, so that’s good news. The bad news is that he was removed from Thursday’s contest, and while it does appear he’s avoided a significant injury, fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status for the upcoming weekend. They can do that while breathing a sigh of relief at the same time, however.
