Ian Happ went 2-for-5, including a solo home run, and drove in a pair during Chicago's 6-5 loss to Cleveland in game two of Sunday's doubleheader.
Fantasy Impact: Happ connected on an offering from Cleveland reliever, Shawn Armstrong, in the eighth inning for his fourth home run of the season. Happ is now tied with Atlanta's Drake Baldwin and Pittsburgh's Oneil Cruz for the National League lead in homers. The Cubs' outfielder is hitting just .189 (7-for-37) to begin the season with five of his seven hits (one double, four home runs) going for extra bases. He has struck out an NL-leading 18 times. Expect decent power numbers from Happ, but he's a career .247 hitter, so don't expect much higher than that in 2026.

Dansby Swanson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Chicago's 6-5 loss to Cleveland in game two of Sunday's doubleheader.
Fantasy Impact: Swanson hit his two-run home run off of Cleveland reliever, Matt Festa, with two outs in the top of the sixth inning which gave the Cubs a 3-0 advantage. The veteran shortstop has been mired in a season-long slump as he is hitting just .138 (4-for-29) with 11 strikeouts through the first nine games of the year. Swanson batted .244 with 24 home runs last season so fantasy owners are hoping Sunday's home run gets him on track.
