On bench for finale Happ is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Impact With nothing left to play for during the regular season, the Cubs will give many of their regulars the day off. Happ could have probably used another day off anyway as he's been nursing a minor ankle injury this week. Billy Hamilton will man center field and lead off against right-hander Reynaldo Lopez.

Back in action Friday Happ (ankle) is starting in center field and batting leadoff Friday against the White Sox.

Impact The 26-year-old was withheld from Thursday's lineup after tweaking his ankle Wednesday, but his quick return to the lineup confirms it's a minor issue. Happ has a .138/.233/.169 slash line and 35.6 percent strikeout rate over his past 17 games and will look to bust out of the slump in the Cubs' final series of the regular season.

Dealing with minor ankle injury Happ, who is not in Thursday's lineup against the Pirates, tweaked his ankle in Wednesday's game, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact The Cubs say that they just want to make sure Happ is 100 percent before deploying him, but it's worth noting he is also hitting .138/.233/.169 with a 35.6 percent strikeout rate and zero home runs over his last 65 at-bats, so his playing time may have been trending down slightly anyway. Once he is deemed fully healthy, he should get the bulk of the starts in center field. Cameron Maybin is getting the start in center Thursday.
