So, the Dodgers aren’t perfect. Busch did major damage against his former organization, and he picked up four of the Cubs’ 21 hits against Los Angeles in a game that was 1-0 until the sixth. Busch has gotten off to a very solid start on the season with a pair of homers, nine RBI, a .300 average and an OPS of .926.

Suzuki turned a 2-1 deficit into a 4-2 advantage with one mighty swing of the bat in the fifth inning, crushing a 1-0 sinker from Chad Patrick for a 413-foot (102.8 mph EV) three-run shot. He struck out in each of his three other at-bats on the night, but that’s fine as he still was able to play the role of hero. On the season, the 30-year-old slugger is slashing a healthy .261/.317/.536 with 18 homers, 61 RBI and a pair of stolen bases.

Tucker smacked a one-out double off of Chad Patrick in the fifth inning that set the stage for Seiya Suzuki’s go-ahead three-run blast. He also doubled in the first inning and singled in the third, but the Cubs were unable to cash him in either of those times. The 28-year-old superstar outfielder is now slashing a robust .284/.394/.515 with 13 homers, 43 RBI and 18 stolen bases in what has been a terrific first season with the Cubs thus far.

The 25-year-old hurler struck out Joey Ortiz and got Sal Frelick on a pop out to third base to open the ninth inning. He then allowed a two-out double to Jackson Chourio which brought the tying run to the plate, but Palencia rebounded to get William Contreras on a fly ball to center field to end it. He has done a terrific job for the Cubs this season, compiling a 1.67 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and a 29/10 K/BB ratio over 27 innings while converting seven of his first eight save chances. He has started to separate himself in the Cubs’ bullpen and should hang onto the closer’s gig even when Porter Hodge returns from the injured list, making him a viable target in any shallow mixed leagues where he may still be available.

Encarnacion-Strand takes a seat with righty Bailey Ober on the hill for Minnesota as he’s gone into a slide at the dish over the past week, going 3-for-25 with nine strikeouts, following a stretch where he homered in three consecutive contests after coming back from the injured list. It’ll be veteran infielder Santiago Espinal at the hot corner on Wednesday night in his place.

Feinsand acknowledges that Arizona is still in the playoff hunt, but with Corbin Burnes and Justin Martinez out for the season, it may be hard for them to remain in the mix. With so many teams looking for an impact corner infield bat, Arizona could get a nice return by trading away Naylor, who will be a free agent at the end of the season. Feinsand lists the Mariners, Rangers and Red Sox as potential destinations.

Vaughn was acquired by the Brewers for Aaron Civale over the weekend. He’s going to stay at Triple-A for a bit as the Brewers work to get him back to last year’s swing, but with Rhys Hoskins being a popular name in trade rumors, Vaughn could get a chance to start for Milwaukee after the deadline.
