Ian Happ-ening upon a hot bat in June PITTSBURGH -- The Cubs have had to endure a wild ride of highs and lows in their 2022 season so far. In the last few weeks, it’s been a low...
Blasts eighth home run Happ went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Pirates.
Impact Happ was replaced defensively by Nelson Velazquez in the bottom of the fifth inning with the Cubs up 10-1, but the former did some damage while he was in there. The outfielder went deep in the second inning with a runner on, giving him eight home runs and 34 RBI this season through 67 games. Happ also has a robust .870 OPS, making him a solid fantasy option in all formats.

Bright spot in blowout Happ went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and an RBI in Monday's loss to the Pirates.
Impact Happ recorded Chicago's only extra-base hit and RBI in the 12-1 loss. While his team struggles, the outfielder is enjoying a solid season at the plate so far with a .290 batting average and .855 OPS. The batting average would be a new career high for Happ, who hit just .226 last year. A key factor has been more consistent contact, as he's lowered his strikeout rate from 29.2 percent in 2021 down to 19.8 percent so far in 2022.

Logs three hits in blowout loss Happ went 3-for-4 with a walk in Wednesday's 19-5 loss to the Padres.
Impact Chicago has now dropped nine consecutive games, but it's been through no fault of Happ. The 27-year-old has slashed .361/.439/.583 during the losing streak and has now recorded at least one hit in all but one of his last 14 starts. He'll serve as Chicago's designated hitter and No. 3 batter in Thursday's series finale.

Posts big line Sunday Happ went 3-for-3 with a walk, a triple, a solo home run and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Yankees.
Impact Happ was a bright spot in Chicago's 18-4 loss. The outfielder now has seven home runs and 30 RBI this season, and he's been locked in lately with a .378 batting average across his last 10 games. The Cubs are struggling at 23-36, but Happ should remain a strong fantasy contributor as one of the team's best hitters, particularly if he keeps swinging the bat like this.

Steals base in defeat Happ went 1-for-5 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 13-inning loss to the Yankees.
Impact The stolen base, which came in the first inning after Happ singled against New York starter Luis Severino, was the fifth of the season for the outfielder on six attempts. He's never been a huge speed guy, as his career high for steals in a season is nine, which he recorded last year. If Happ keeps up his current pace, he may at least be able to top that mark and get to double figures for the first time.

Big day in twin bill Happ went 3-for-7 with two walks, two doubles, two RBI and a stolen base across both games of Saturday's doubleheader split with the Cardinals.
Impact The 27-year-old was productive in both ends of the twin bill but he did most of his damage in the Cubs' 6-1 win during the matinee. Happ has hit safely in six straight games, batting .450 (9-for-20) with three doubles, a triple and a homer during that stretch, and the tear has boosted his slash line on the season to .272/.377/.451 with six home runs, four steals, 27 runs and 29 RBI through 52 contests.

Goes deep Thursday Happ went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Cardinals.
Impact Happ came into the contest in a 2-for-17 slump over his previous five games, and this was his first multi-hit effort since May 23. The outfielder still has a solid .258 average and .802 OPS this season, which are up from the .226 and .757 marks he posted last year, respectively. He has his ups and downs, but Happ should remain a productive fantasy asset so long as he stays healthy.
