Lands on injured list Happ was placed on the injured list with a left rib contusion Friday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Impact The move comes as no surprise, as Happ hasn't taken the field since colliding with teammate Nico Hoerner (forearm) on Tuesday. Hoerner has also been placed on the injured list. Happ's transaction was backdated by three days, so he'll be eligible to return next Friday, though it remains to be seen whether or not the Cubs expect him to do so. Nick Martini was recalled in a corresponding move.

No concussion, managing rib injury Cubs manager David Ross said Happ isn't in the concussion protocol, but the outfielder will be held out of the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Dodgers due to a rib co...
Impact Happ looked as though he suffered a serious injury when he was involved in a collision with teammate Nico Hoerner during Sunday's loss to the Reds, but he was fortunate to avoid a concussion. For now, the Cubs are viewing Happ as day-to-day before he heads in for more tests on his ribcage later Tuesday, according to Jordan Bastian of MLB.com. Based on the results of his tests and how sore he's feeling, Happ could be an option to play in the second half of the doubleheader, but it's more likely Ross gives the 26-year-old the entire day off.

Impact Happ was in the midst of a big day at the plate prior to his departure, going 3-for-5 with a three-run home run, a double and two additional runs on the afternoon. The Cubs will evaluate Happ before providing a diagnosis of his injury, but the 26-year-old looks as though he'll be at risk of missing time. Jake Marisnick would likely pick up most of the work in center field if Happ requires a stint on the 10-day injured list.

Leading off again Sunday Happ is starting in center field and batting first in Sunday's game against the Reds.
Impact The Cubs recently benched Happ for three consecutive days and used Anthony Rizzo as the leadoff hitter, but Happ is now in the lineup and batting first for the second straight contest. The 26-year-old is going to need to get going at the plate if he wants to remain in this spot, however. Happ is slashing just .139/.292/.177 through 25 games.
