Ian Happ

Ian Happ went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Cubs' 3-1 win against the Brewers.

Fantasy Impact

His solo shot contributed crucially to the team's victory, though his overall performance this season has been a mixed bag. With a batting average of .237 through 96 games and a significant strikeout rate of .275, Happ's inconsistency at the plate can be frustrating for fantasy managers. However, his power numbers, with 16 homers and 59 RBI, provide some redemption. Given his current form, Happ remains a risky play in fantasy lineups, suitable primarily for those in need of power stats, albeit with a potential cost to batting average and strikeout metrics.

Fantasy Impact

This performance showcased Happ's ability to contribute significantly to both the scoreboard and fantasy lineups, especially with his mix of power and average hitting. His season-long stats, including a .243 batting average and 15 homers, suggest a somewhat inconsistent campaign, but games like this highlight his potential upside. Fantasy managers should note Happ's solid slugging with 23 doubles and one triple, indicating that while he may not be a top-tier outfielder, he offers valuable depth in most fantasy formats.

Fantasy Impact

This explosive showing is a bright spot in what has been a somewhat average season for Happ, marked by a .238 batting average and 13 home runs over 82 games. His performance in this game, particularly the pair of home runs and high RBI count, could signal a turning point for fantasy managers who have been waiting for a significant uptick in production. Given his ability to impact the game across multiple categories, Happ remains a viable fantasy option, especially if this game sparks a hot streak.

Ian Happ made his presence felt in the Cubs' 5-3 victory over the Brewers, delivering when it counted.

Fantasy Impact

He went 1-for-2 with a home run, two runs scored, two RBI, and also drew two walks. This performance is a bright spot in what has been a challenging season for Happ, who is hitting just .231 through 78 games. His ability to take walks and contribute power (11 homers now) keeps him relevant in fantasy formats, especially those that value on-base percentage. However, his high strikeout rate and low batting average limit his appeal primarily to deeper leagues or as a situational player against favorable pitching matchups.
