Ian Happ Fantasy Stats

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ helped his team rally to an extra-inning win on Labor Day against the visiting Braves. Happ finished the game 3-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI. He has 19 homers and six stolen bases on the year while hitting .238 with a .328 wOBA in 126 games. The 31-year-old switch-hitter has been solid for the resurgent Cubs this season and has picked things up over the last month. Since August 1, he is hitting .277 with four of those 19 homers along with a .378 wOBA. Monday's win keeps the Cubs in a great spot to make the postseason with nine games between them and the Reds, the first team out of the playoffs. They are 5.5 games behind the Brewers in the chase for the NL Central. Happ and the Cubs continue their homestand with two more against Atlanta before hosting the Nationals this coming weekend.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ (shin) is starting in left field and will hit seventh in Friday's series opener at Wrigley Field against the visiting Baltimore Orioles and left-hander Trevor Rogers. Happ did not play in Wednesday's series finale against the Milwaukee Brewers after fouling a ball off his left shin on Tuesday, but he's feeling better after also having a scheduled off day on Thursday and will return to action to begin the weekend. Fantasy managers may want to leave him out of their lineups, though, against a left-hander that is having a resurgent season in 2025 for the O's. The switch-hitting Happ is batting .243 (28-for-115) against left-handed pitchers this year, but he's hit only three of his 15 home runs on the year against them. Happ is also hitting .231 with three home runs since the All-Star break in mid-July.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ (shin) will not need a stint on the injured list, according to Jesse Rogers of ESPN. The Cubs are recalling catching prospect Moises Ballesteros and have designated infielder Vidal Brujan for assignment in a corresponding move. Happ left Tuesday's game early against the Milwaukee Brewers after fouling a ball off his left shin, but X-rays came back negative and he will not go on the IL for now. However, the 30-year-old is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest in Milwaukee. Fantasy managers will want to check back on Friday to see if Happ is ready to play in the series opener at Wrigley Field against the Baltimore Orioles. With Happ sitting out in the finale against the Brew Crew, Seiya Suzuki is in left field and Ballesteros will make a start as the designated hitter against Brewers right-hander Freddy Peralta.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ (shin) exited Tuesday's 9-3 loss to the Brewers in the eighth inning after fouling a ball off his left shin. X-rays after the game were negative, and Happ said he will need to get the swelling down and manage the pain. However, he may require a stint on the injured list. He went 1-for-3 with a double before being pinch-hit for by Vidal Brujan. The 30-year-old is having a disappointing season, slashing .227/.324/.380 with 14 home runs, 50 RBI, and five stolen bases in 444 plate appearances. Fantasy managers should check Wednesday's lineup, although it would not be surprising to see him out of the lineup, especially since he may need to miss time.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ has been dropped to seventh in the batting order for the second game of the series in the Bronx on Saturday against the hosting New York Yankees and left-hander Max Fried. Second baseman Nico Hoerner will bat leadoff for the Cubbies. Happ didn't even start against lefty Carlos Rodon in Friday's 11-0 blowout loss, and now he'll hit near the bottom of the lineup after going 2-for-32 (.063) with a double, run scored, two RBI, eight walks and eight strikeouts in nine games so far in July. The 30-year-old left-handed hitter has hit .556 with a 1.889 OPS, two home runs and two RBI in nine career at-bats versus Fried, but he's also batting .223 (23-for-103) with only two of his 12 home runs and a 30:16 K:BB against left-handed pitchers this season. The way Happ has been swinging it, he's one to fade against Fried.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ remained hot at the plate during Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners. He got the fun started off early with a home run off right-hander Emerson Hancock in the first inning. He wasn't done there as he blasted a three-run shot off Hancock in the second inning. He'd finish his day 2-for-4 with two homers, four RBI, and one walk in the win. Happ has now homered in three straight games as pitchers can't seem to keep him in the ballpark. He's slashing .250/.343/.423 with 11 homers, 38 RBI, and four steals this season. Happ needs to be rostered and started in most fantasy formats right now.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ hit a walk-off single in a 3-2 defeat of the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. Happ, whose 10th-inning knock came against Pirates closer David Bednar, finished the afternoon 1-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout. This has been an unspectacular season for Happ, who's batting .249/.340/.385 with seven homers, 31 RBI, 44 runs, and four steals in 297 plate appearances. He racked up 20-plus homers, 80-plus RBI, and double-digit steals in each of the previous two seasons. Happ has a lot of catching up to do over the Cubs' final 90 games in order to approach those numbers this year. He'll face Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Chad Patrick on Tuesday.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ had a solid game at the plate in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Phillies. Happ went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a two-run HR, three RBI, and two walks. The 30-year-old lined a third-inning Mick Abel hanging off-speed offering into the right-field seats for a solo shot and put the Cubs ahead in the sixth inning with a two-run moonshot off of Taijuan Walker. Happ has put up decent offensive numbers overall, slashing .255/.345/.397 with seven HR, 42 runs scored, 29 RBI, and three stolen bases in 275 plate appearances. His power decrease could be due to him not hitting the ball as hard this season. However, he should continue to provide fantasy value while hitting at the top of one of baseball's stronger lineups.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ was seeing the ball well on Thursday, as he blasted his fourth home run, his 13th double, and went 3-for-6 on the evening. The long ball came in the sixth inning with one on and one out to help extend the Cubs' lead to 5-0, and help them eventually win 7-1 over the Washington Nationals. Happ missed a few weeks in May due to an oblique injury, but has not missed a beat since his return, picking up right where he left off in April. On the season, Happ is now slashing .259/.348/.373 with four home runs, 25 RBI, and 38 runs scored. Happ continues to bat in the leadoff spot against right-handed pitchers, and it's paying dividends for him in the runs department, batting behind Kyle Tucker and Seiya Suzuki, both of whom have been tearing the cover off the ball this season.

Chicago Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer said that outfielder Ian Happ (oblique) will be activated off the 10-day injured list before Tuesday's contest in Miami against the Marlins. In a corresponding move, the team will send catching prospect Moises Ballesteros back to Triple-A Iowa. The Cubs said on Monday that Happ would rejoin the team this week in Miami, so he should be back in the starting lineup on Tuesday versus left-hander Ryan Weathers. The 30-year-old needed the minimum of 10 days to recover from his strained left oblique. The former ninth overall pick in 2015 out of the University of Cincinnati will return to a .269/.364/.381 slash line with three home runs, 19 RBI, 29 runs scored and two stolen bases. Happ has been better against lefty pitcher from the right side, going 16-for-44 (.364), although he has yet to homer against a southpaw in 2025.
