AUGUST 27, 2021 • Associated Press

Late addition to Friday's lineup Happ will start at second base and bat fifth Friday against the White Sox after David Bote was scratched because of a sprained right ankle, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact Happ was originally slated to get the game off but will now man the keystone with Bote suffering the ankle injury during batting practice.

Not starting Friday Happ is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox.

Impact There's very little competition for at-bats in Chicago following the team's teardown at the deadline, but Happ hasn't hit well enough this season to earn an everyday role even in that situation, slashing .198/.301/.369. Patrick Wisdom moves out to left field in his absence, with Matt Duffy starting at third base.

Stays hot in nightcap Happ went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Rockies. He also stole his second base of the season.

Impact Happ didn't start the matinee, but he kept his hot streak going in the nightcap. The 27-year-old is 11-for-25 over his past eight games with three home runs and six RBI. Due to early-season struggles, he's still batting just .198, but fantasy managers are enjoying the production lately and should keep rolling with Happ for however long he's locked in at the plate.

Three hits in win Happ went 3-for-3 with a walk, two doubles and a run scored in Monday's win over the Rockies.

Impact Happ has been stinging the ball lately, as he's now 9-for-19 over his past six games. He's still batting just .195 this season due to a slow start, but the 27-year-old is talented enough to help fantasy managers with a strong finish. Happ has also been batting third lately, which could help him generate some solid counting stats from the premium lineup spot, though the likes of Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo and Javier Baez aren't around to offer any protection.

Impact It wasn't all positive for Happ, as the outfielder left five runners on base, but he still managed his second home run in as many days and 14th of the season. The power is there, and Happ could be primed for a decent finish to the season if he can keep making consistent contact.
