Tallies two hits, two runs Sunday Happ went 2-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's 7-5 loss to the Reds.

Impact Happ recorded his fourth multi-hit performance in his last nine games, and during that stretch, he's batting .323 with three home runs, eight runs scored and 10 RBI. Overall, Happ is sporting a .750 OPS with 23 long balls, 61 RBI and 80 runs scored this season. The 32-year-old remains a steady performer for fantasy managers, as he rarely misses games and delivers similar offensive production every year.

AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE

Idle Saturday Happ isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

Impact Happ has just a .527 OPS this season while hitting right-handed, so the Cubs will keep him on the bench Saturday with the Reds set to send lefty Andrew Abbott to the mound. Tyrone Taylor will take over in left field and bat seventh.

Sitting versus southpaw Happ is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Arizona.

Impact The switch-hitting Happ is sporting just a .527 OPS and 34.6 percent strikeout rate this season against left-handed pitching, so he'll get a day off as the Diamondbacks send southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez to the hill. Tyrone Taylor will cover left field for the Cubs.

Maintains power surge Happ went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact Happ broke open the scoring when he took Brandon Pfaadt deep in the fourth inning. That was Happ's third homer in his last five games. He's hit safely in seven of his last nine games, going 10-for-32 (.313) in that span. For the season, the veteran outfielder is batting .220 with a .754 OPS, 23 homers, 61 RBI, 77 runs scored, 24 doubles, two triples and four stolen bases over 129 contests.

Smacks another home run Sunday Happ went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, an additional run scored and five total RBI in Sunday's 19-2 win over the Mariners.

Impact Happ had a massive performance as the Cubs rolled to an easy victory. The veteran outfielder got a rest day Saturday, but he went deep in both of his starts over the weekend against Seattle, and he's now up to 22 home runs in 127 games this season. Happ's career high in homers is 25, which he recorded on two different occasions, and he's closing in on that mark in 2026.

Getting breather Saturday Happ isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Seattle.

Impact The switch-hitting Happ is slashing just .158/.229/.292 through 132 plate appearances against southpaws this season, so the Cubs will keep him on the bench Saturday while highly touted lefty Kade Anderson makes his MLB debut on the mound for the Mariners. Kevin Alcantara will start in left field and bat eighth.

Lifts homer Friday Happ went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in Friday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Mariners.

Impact Happ has three homers but just four RBI over 19 contests in August. He's hitting just .194 (12-for-62) with a 7:21 BB:K this month. The prolonged struggles at the plate are evident in his career-worst .216 average and .737 OPS, but he's maintained decent power with 21 homers, 23 doubles and 52 RBI across 125 contests. Happ has also logged four stolen bases and 73 runs scored on the year.
