Back in action Happ (knee) will bat eighth and play left field Tuesday against Pittsburgh.

Impact Happ was hit by a pitch in his left knee Saturday and didn't participate in Sunday's game, but his X-rays were negative, so it's no surprise to see him back in action two days later. He got off to a very strong start in the first two games of the year, reaching base seven times without striking out once and driving in four runs while scoring three more.

Out of Sunday's lineup Happ (knee) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Brewers.

Impact Happ had X-rays come back negative after being hit by a pitch on the left knee Saturday, and he'll be held out of the lineup for Sunday's contest. The 27-year-old is off to a hot start, going 5-for-7 with two doubles, a walk, three runs and four RBI through the first two games of 2022. Rafael Ortega will cover left field while Clint Frazier serves as the designated hitter in the series finale.

Reaches safely four times Happ went 2-for-3 with three runs scored, two RBI, a walk and a hit-by-pitch in a 9-0 win Saturday against Milwaukee, though he did leave with a knee injury after being hit by a pi...

Impact Happ entered Saturday's game with only three hits in 21 career at-bats against Brandon Woodruff and reached base safely all three times they faced off. The 27-year-old now has more hits and RBI in the first two games of the season than he had all spring. After an atrocious first four months of 2021, Happ turned it around and hit .333/.407/.680 over his last 41 games. Consistency has been an issue throughout his career and the Cubs are hoping that this is the year where it all comes together for the left fielder. For now, he's listed as day-to-day entering Sunday's series finale.

X-rays negative Happ's X-rays on his knee were negative Saturday, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

Impact Happ was hit by a pitch in his left kneecap Saturday against the Brewers and was forced to leave the game. He's seemingly avoided a serious injury, but he could still miss some time.

Exits after HBP Happ was removed from Saturday's game against the Brewers in the bottom of the seventh inning after he was hit by a pitch on his left knee, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

Impact Happ remained down for several minutes after being hit by the pitch, but he was ultimately able to walk off under his own power. He was productive prior to his departure, as he went 2-for-3 with three runs, two RBI and a walk. If the 27-year-old is forced to miss time, Clint Frazier should see additional at-bats.

Collects three hits in win Happ went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI in Thursday's win over the Brewers.

Impact Happ batted cleanup and did his job by powering the Chicago offense. The 27-year-old can certainly be a dynamic hitter, though strikeouts have slowed him down in the past, so it was good to see Happ without any strikeouts Thursday. If he can make more consistent contact, a big season could be on tap.

Playing outfield Sunday Happ (elbow) is starting in left field and batting fifth in Sunday's Cactus League game against the Royals, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Happ was previously limited to working as the designated hitter while making his way back from February elbow surgery, but he's now been cleared to play the outfield. The 27-year-old appears to be in the clear for Opening Day and should have a starting spot in the outfield.

Serving as designated hitter Happ (elbow) is batting cleanup as the designated hitter in Wednesday's Cactus League game against Oakland, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact Happ is returning from February elbow surgery, though it's not much of a surprise to see him at designated hitter since the procedure apparently didn't affect his ability to hit. The 27-year-old is going through his throwing program and is expected to be ready to play the field by Opening Day, but even if he's not, he should at the very least be able to start the campaign logging at-bats as the DH.

Avoids arbitration Happ (elbow) signed a one-year, $6.85 million contract with the Cubs on Tuesday, avoiding arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Happ posted a career-low 103 wRC+ last season, the product of a .226/.323/.434 slash line, as his strikeout rate ticked up to 29.2 percent. He's still working his way back from February elbow surgery, though he's expected to be ready for Opening Day.
