Ian Happ Shines at Plate Despite Cubs' Narrow Loss
by Matthew Adam | Cubs Correspondent | Tue, Aug 13th 6:17am EDT
Ian Happ went 1-for-2 with a home run and three runs scored in the Cubs' 9-8 loss to the Guardians.
Fantasy Impact:
He also walked three times and drove in two runs. Despite the Cubs' defeat, Happ's performance was a silver lining, showcasing his ability to get on base and score. His season-long struggles with a .230 batting average might deter some fantasy managers, but his power numbers and ability to draw walks (66 walks to date) add value, especially in OBP leagues. With 20 home runs and 67 RBI this season, Happ remains a viable fantasy option in deeper leagues, particularly for those in need of power and runs.
