The veteran outfielder is on the cusp of his fourth straight 20-homer campaign and the sixth of his 10-year MLB career.

  • Cubs' Ian Happ: Homers again Sunday

    Happ went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 10-2 win over the Royals.

    A day after hitting his 19th home run of the season, Happ followed that up with long ball No. 20. The veteran outfielder has now reached the 20-homer plateau in each of the last four years. Happ's career high in home runs is 25, which he recorded on two different occasions across his 10 years in the majors. With a strong finish to the 2026 campaign, he could be in line to surpass that figure.

  • Cubs' Ian Happ: Sitting against lefty

    Happ isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers,

    Manager Craig Counsell said Tuesday that Happ will see significantly less action against left-handers going forward, per Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com, as Happ has posted just a .530 OPS in 125 plate appearances while hitting right-handed this season. Southpaw Tarik Skubal will be making his Dodgers debut Tuesday, so Happ will retreat to the bench while Tyrone Taylor starts in left field in what will be his Cubs debut.

  • Cubs' Ian Happ: Riding pine Monday

    Happ is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.

    The Cubs will give Happ a breather after he went 0-for-7 with a walk and a strikeout in the final two games of the weekend series with the Yankees. After being recalled from Triple-A Iowa, Kevin Alcantara will enter the starting nine in left field in place of Happ on Monday.

He added another double in the ninth inning, giving him 20 two-baggers on the year. The veteran outfielder is on pace to top 30 doubles for his fifth consecutive season.

He has had a quiet July, going 9-for-47 (.191) with three extra-base hits in 14 contests. Overall, the switch hitter is slashing .218/.329/.429 with 18 homers, 44 RBI, 62 runs and four stolen bases across 96 games.

    Happ went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Giants.

While Happ is just 4-for-27 (.148) over his last eight games, three of his hits in that span have gone for extra bases. The outfielder is batting .227 with an .827 OPS, 16 homers, 37 RBI, 46 runs scored, four steals, 13 doubles and two triples over 67 contests this season.

  • Cubs' Ian Happ: Lifts off in loss

    Happ went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Rockies.

    Happ got the scoring started for both teams in the fourth inning with his 15th home run of the season. The veteran outfielder is on pace to surpass the 23 long balls he recorded during the 2025 regular season, if he can stay healthy, and he could push toward the first 30-homer campaign of his 10-year MLB career. The power surge has Happ's OPS at .838, which would be his highest since 2020.

  • Cubs' Ian Happ: Big game Thursday

    Happ went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, an additional run scored and three total RBI in Thursday's 7-6 win over the Athletics.

    Happ delivered his second straight two-hit effort and helped power the Cubs to a win. The veteran is now up 14 home runs and 34 RBI through 59 games, while also scoring 42 runs. Happ has been a consistent fantasy performer for a number of years now, and his ability to regularly get on base and hit for decent power sustains his value. The outfielder also rarely misses time, having played in 150 regular-season games or more the last four year. Happ has played in all but four of Chicago's contests so far this season.

The 31-year-old was given a two-day mental reset entering the week and it has certainly paid off, as he's gone 8-for-22 with five extra-base hits and 11 RBI over his past five games. For the year, he's slashing .230/.354/.475 with 13 home runs, 31 RBI, 38 runs scored and two steals across 243 plate appearances.

Happ's career high in long balls is 25, which he did on two occasions, but he could surpass that mark in 2026 if he keeps up his current pace of 12 through 53 games.

  • Cubs' Ian Happ: Sitting for second straight day

Counsell said that he plans to include Happ in the lineup Monday in Pittsburgh, though the 31-year-old could end up slotting lower in the batting order than usual after going just 1-for-24 with two walks and 14 strikeouts over his last six games.
