Chicago Cubs: Key Players to Watch in June

Michael Busch

The Chicago Cubs are looking to turn their season around in June after a rough stretch in May. One player who needs to step up is first baseman Michael Busch. While he had a strong start to the season, his offensive production has declined in the last six weeks. The Cubs need Busch to find his groove at the plate to boost their offense and improve their record.

Catcher Tandem

Another area of concern for the Cubs is their catching duo of Yan Gomes and Miguel Amaya. Both players have struggled offensively, with Gomes hitting .154 and Amaya batting .186. The Cubs need more production from this position to compete effectively in their upcoming games.

Dansby Swanson

Shortstop Dansby Swanson has also faced challenges, including a low batting average on balls in play since May 1. Despite hitting the ball well, Swanson has been unlucky with hits not falling in. He needs to continue his approach at the plate and put the ball in play more to improve his fortunes.
