Ian Happ powers Cubs to narrow victory
by Chris Schommer | Cubs Correspondent | Sat, Aug 10th 10:00am EDT
Ian Happ went 2-for-5 with a home run and an RBI in the Cubs' 7-6 win over the White Sox.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite striking out three times, Happ's contributions were crucial, especially his long ball that added to the Cubs' tally. This season, Happ's batting average sits at a dismal .226, and his power numbers, while decent with 19 homers, suggest he's more of a situational fantasy play rather than a must-start. His high strikeout rate continues to be a concern, undermining his on-base potential despite a reasonable walk rate. Fantasy managers should consider Happ as a potential depth piece in larger leagues, particularly useful for his power upside in favorable matchups.
