Triples, scores in win Happ went 1-for-3 with a walk, a triple and a run scored in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Marlins.

Impact Happ extended his modest hitting streak to four games with his third triple of the season. The veteran outfielder is batting just .228 this month, though he's sporting a strong .353 on-base percentage, which is above his .330 mark for the season. With the Cubs officially clinching their spot in the playoffs with Thursday's win, Happ may get some time off over the next few days, but he should be a lineup regular once the postseason begins.

Homers in loss Friday Happ went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Reds.

Impact Happ tied the game for the Cubs in the third inning with his 24th home run of the year before Cincinnati surged ahead. The veteran outfielder hadn't gone deep since Aug. 25 and is batting just .212 with a .646 OPS in 20 games since then. Despite the slump, Happ should remain a lineup regular in the last week of the regular season as Chicago jockeys for playoff positioning.

Returning to Cubs lineup Happ (knee) will start in left field and bat sixth in Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

Out of Monday's lineup Happ (knee) is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Milwaukee.

Impact There's a good chance Happ wouldn't have started, anyway, as the switch hitter has been sitting regularly versus lefties lately and the Brewers are turning to southpaw Robert Gasser on Monday. However, Happ is also dealing with left knee discomfort and is considered day-to-day. Tyrone Taylor will get another start in left field for the Cubs.

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.
