Returns to lineup Happ (forehead) will lead off and play center field in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

Impact Happ left Thursday's game against the Pirates after fouling a ball off his own head and did not take part in Friday's contest. He escaped with nothing worse than a bruise, however, so he'll be in the lineup for at least one of Saturday's two games.

Not starting Friday Happ (forehead) is out of the lineup Friday against the Cardinals.

Impact The 26-year-old exited Thursday's game after he hit a foul ball that bounced and hit him above the right eye, and he'll remain out of the lineup Friday. Happ appears to have avoided a serious injury as X-rays came back negative, but he'll nonetheless receive at least one day off. Cameron Maybin will receive the start in center field for the Cubs in his place.

X-rays negative Happ exited Thursday's game with a bruise above his right eye, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

Impact A ball he fouled off bounced up and hit him above his right eye, but X-rays came back negative so it is just a contusion for the Cubs' hottest hitter. Manager David Ross said Happ's vision was "super blurry" and his eye was watering, which is why he had to come out of the game, per Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune. He should be considered day-to-day.

Leaves after fouling ball off face Happ left Thursday's game after fouling a ball that bounced up and hit his head above his right eye, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact It is unclear how serious the injury is, and the hope is that he won't need to enter the concussion protocol. Happ was having a breakout season and had nine hits and four home runs in the last four games alone. Cameron Maybin replaced him in center field.

Sets franchise record Tuesday Happ went 3-for-6 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 8-7 extra-innings win over the Pirates.

Impact He took Chad Kuhl deep on the second pitch of the game to extend his homer streak to three games. The blast also gave Happ 10 homers on the year and 60 in his career to set a new Cubs record for career home runs by a switch hitter. The hot streak has pushed the 26-year-old's slash line to .304/.420/.643, and he's making a strong case for a permanent home at the top of the order in Chicago.
