Blasts leadoff home run Happ went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-6 win over the White Sox.

The veteran outfielder is closing in on his second consecutive 20-homer campaign, which would be the fourth of his career. Happ's career high in home runs is the 25 he recorded back in 2021.

Hits 18th home run, swipes base Happ went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 8-2 win over the Twins. He also stole a base.
Impact Happ was busy despite only recording the one hit. The veteran is up to 18 home runs this season, bringing him closer to his second straight 20-homer campaign. He also now has eight stolen bases, and he could reach double figures in that category for the second time in his career after swiping 14 bases in 2023. Happ isn't always the flashiest fantasy option, though he's been a steady performer once again in 2024, and he plays nearly every day.
