Goes five frames in Cardinals debut Happ did not factor in the decision against Atlanta on Wednesday, pitching five innings and allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out four.

Impact Nolan Arenado's first-inning three-run homer staked Happ to an early lead, and he kept the Braves off the scoreboard for three frames. However, the southpaw gave up a run in each of the fourth and fifth innings before being replaced to start the sixth. Happ was by no means dominant in the contest, but his performance was an improvement over his final three outings with Minnesota, during which he posted a collective 11.25 ERA and 2.13 WHIP across 16 innings. It's uncertain how long Happ will remain in the rotation with both Jack Flaherty (oblique) and Miles Mikolas (forearm) nearing a return to the active roster.

Braves hammer Lester in Cardinals debut for 6-1 victory

Making St. Louis debut Wednesday Happ is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Cardinals will turn to the two starting pitchers they acquired ahead of last week's trade deadline -- Jon Lester and Happ -- to take the hill for their first two games of the series with Atlanta. Prior to being traded, the 38-year-old southpaw held down a spot in the Minnesota rotation despite a 6.77 ERA and 1.59 WHIP over 98.1 innings, but Happ may need to turn in better results in his Cardinals debut to ensure he receives additional starts. With Miles Mikolas (forearm) and Jack Flaherty (oblique) both in the midst of rehab assignments, the Cardinals have two options waiting in the wings to replace Happ.

Dealt to Cardinals Happ was traded from the Twins to the Cardinals on Friday in exchange for John Gant, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Impact Happ has a 6.77 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 77 strikeouts in 98.1 innings this season, so he's hardly a prized commodity. However, he will provide some rotation depth for the Cardinals down the stretch. Happ was next scheduled to start early next week, so it's unclear exactly which day he will join the Cardinals' rotation, but it could be in the home series against Atlanta.

Twins trade 2-time All-Star pitcher José Berríos to Toronto

JULY 30, 2021 • Associated Press

Lit up by Detroit Happ (5-6) allowed nine earned runs on 10 hits and four walks while striking out two across three innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Tigers.

Impact Happ allowed two runs in the first two innings he pitched but fell apart in the fourth frame. He allowed the first seven batters he faced to reach base -- via three singles, two doubles and two walks -- which accounted for an additional seven earned runs. Though Happ has routinely allowed more than three earned runs in his outings this season, Wednesday marked his shortest start and featured the most runs charged to him in a single appearance. This disastrous effort only added to a dismal season, as Happ now has a 6.77 ERA across 98.1 innings.

Surrenders four runs Friday Happ allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk with four strikeouts in six innings versus the Angels on Friday. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact The Angels struck early against the southpaw, rallying for three runs in the first inning and adding another in the second. Luckily for Happ, Minnesota was able to pull off a comeback win to prevent him from taking consecutive losses. The 38-year-old owns a lackluster 6.14 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 75:27 K:BB through 95.1 innings this year. He lines up to make his next start versus Detroit next week.

Lasts seven innings in loss Happ (5-5) allowed seven runs on 11 hits and a walk with four strikeouts in seven innings, taking the loss versus Detroit on Sunday.

Impact It was a little surprising to see Happ work so deep into a lopsided loss. The 11 hits he allowed were a season high, although he was able to limit the opposition to just the third walk he's issued across his last four starts. The southpaw has a 6.15 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 71:26 K:BB through 89.1 innings this season. He lines up to face the Angels during next weekend's series.
