Ian Happ Homers, But Cubs Fall Short Against Pirates

Ian Happ went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Cubs' 5-4 loss to the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact

His solo shot provided a glimmer of hope but wasn't enough to secure a win. Happ's season has been underwhelming with a batting average of just .220 through 40 games, and his power numbers have been modest at best. This home run, only his second of the season, might hint at potential improvements, but his high strikeout rate and low wOBA suggest fantasy managers should temper their expectations. His ability to draw walks is a small consolation, yet it doesn't quite compensate for the overall lack of production.

Ian Happ's Quiet Day at the Plate in Cubs' Victory

Ian Happ went 1-for-3 with a walk in the Cubs' 5-0 win over the Brewers.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the team's success, Happ's individual performance was subdued, contributing minimally to the scoring. His season batting average remains low at .227, and with only one home run and 11 RBI through 32 games, his power numbers are not where fantasy managers would hope. Happ's decent on-base skills, highlighted by a .149 walk rate and a .304 wOBA, offer some value in formats that reward these metrics. However, his limited impact in the power and speed categories makes him a fringe option in standard leagues. His performance today is a reflection of his season thus far—useful in specific contexts but generally underwhelming.

Ian Happ's Slump Continues Despite Cubs' Victory

Ian Happ struggled at the plate in the Cubs' 3-1 win over the Mets, going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and a walk.

Fantasy Impact

This performance is a continuation of what has been a challenging season for Happ, whose batting average lingers at a modest .222 through 26 games. His on-base skills are still evident with a decent walk rate of .138, but the lack of impactful hits and a high strikeout rate are concerning for fantasy managers. Given his current form, it might be wise to consider benching Happ until he shows signs of a turnaround, especially in leagues where batting average is a critical category.
