Ian Happ | Fantasy Outlook

Ian Happ displays renewed power as the surging Cubs push toward the postseason

Happ has ignited at the plate over the past week, batting .304 with two home runs to help the second-place Cubs (71-50) extend their three-game winning streak. While his last 30 days have been dragged down by a .209 average, his steady walk rate continues to keep his on-base percentage respectable at .327. Entrenched as Chicago's everyday left fielder, he remains a central fixture in an offense clicking at the right time.

With 20 long balls already under his belt, Happ has already eclipsed our projection of 18 home runs despite a suppressed .218 batting average. His recent power surge aligns with his established 20-plus homer baseline from past seasons, proving his pop is very real. Although his batting average will likely remain a drag, his elite eye and run-scoring opportunities keep his overall fantasy value afloat.

Looking at the remainder of the week, Happ finishes a set in Washington against Cade Cavalli (3.63 ERA) before returning home for three games against St. Louis. That weekend series offers a particularly juicy matchup on Friday against Matthew Liberatore and his 5.25 ERA and 1.55 WHIP. With favorable matchups ahead and regular playing time locked in, keep him rolling. Start.
