The Dodgers' Youth Movement Is Showing Positive Results

The Dodgers are coming off a relatively modest offseason by their standards, giving out a few one-year deals to free agents and making some small trades. It seems that may have been partially motivated by a desire to get under the luxury tax, though that plan effectively went out the window when Trevor Bauer’s suspension…

Michael Busch Returns To Starting Lineup Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Michael Busch is back in Monday's starting lineup and hitting ninth against Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Taijuan Walker. It's Busch's first appearance since April 27 while he starts at second base for the first time in the big leagues. The 25-year-old is just 1-for-10 with a walk in the big leagues to this point but he clobbered Triple-A pitching prior to his promotion. Busch hit .337 with two homers, one stolen base, and a .967 OPS across 21 Triple-A contests this season after clubbing 32 homers between Double-A and Triple-A last season. Chris Taylor is the notable omission from the lineup as Mookie Betts will start at shortstop Monday.

Dodgers To Promote Michael Busch

The Dodgers are going to promote prospect Michael Busch, reports Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times. Busch will take the roster spot of Max Muncy, who is going on the paternity list. Busch is already on the 40-man roster and won’t require a corresponding move in that regard. The Dodgers are off tonight but…

Max Muncy Placed On Paternity List

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy has been placed on the paternity list on Monday. The left-handed slugger is going to be away from the team for a few days. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly with the red-hot Muncy out of town. He's slashing .254/.411/.718 with 11 homers, 21 RBI in 22 games this season. In his absence, Michael Busch has been recalled from Triple-A. Busch is well deserving of a call up after crushing the ball in the minors. Sadly, Busch probably won't be up with the Dodgers long enough to warrant adding in most fantasy formats.

Michael Busch Recalled From Minors

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Michael Busch is getting called up to the big league roster. The 25-year-old is set to join the Dodgers for their series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. The team is in need of another bat with Max Muncy gone for a few days on the paternity leave list. Busch is slashing .337/.461/.506 with two homers, 16 RBI in 21 games in Triple-A this season. He has certainly earned a chance to play on the big league roster. Sadly, he probably won't be on the roster long enough to warrant adding in most fantasy leagues right now.

Michael Busch Extends On-Base Streak To 21 Games

After a 3-for-6 effort, Los Angeles Dodgers second base prospect Michael Busch has extended his on-base streak to 21 straight games with Triple-A Oklahoma. The UNC product is off to a blisteringly hot start, slashing .325/.458/.494 with two home runs, 14 RBI, and 16 runs. While his bat is good enough for the big leagues, his atrocious defense limits his potential. With a surplus of hitting-only talent already on the Dodgers roster, it'll be difficult for the 25-year-old to get in swings with the Dodgers major league squad. Don't think to stash Busch just yet, but keep an eye on him, even if it's just to witness how long this on-base streak last.

Michael Busch Reassigned To Triple-A

Los Angeles Dodgers second base prospect Michael Busch has been optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Busch, 25, hit .261 with one home run and three this spring. Busch has been one of the Dodgers top prospects over the past few seasons, but there hasn't been a spot for him at the big-league level. In 2022, Busch hit a healthy .274 with 32 home runs and 108 RBI between Double-A and Triple-A. Busch continues to perform well on the farm, but fellow prospect infielder Miguel Vargas has leaped him for a big-league roster spot. If Vargas or veteran infielder Max Muncy struggle out of the gates, Busch may be in line for a promotion. For now, he remains a hold in dynasty leagues and can be ignored in redraft leagues.
