Happ went 2-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in Monday's 18-8 win over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Happ somehow managed not to score despite serving as the leadoff man and reaching three times in the offensive explosion. Despite the lack of counting stats, it was still a productive night for the outfielder, as he reached 11 stolen bases on the season. Happ's career high in steals is 14, which he posted last year, and he may be able to surpass that figure yet in 2024.

Happ went 3-for-5 with two doubles and one RBI in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Happ had half of the Cubs' hit and also knocked in their second run with a ninth-inning double. He's hit safely in 12 of his last 15 games, going 17-for-60 (.283) with six home runs, 10 RBI and four doubles in that span. The outfielder is up to a .234/.339/.458 slash line with 23 homers, 72 RBI, 74 runs scored, 29 doubles and nine stolen bases over 124 contests this season, though his hitting has often been streaky.

Happ went 1-for-2 with three walks, a two-run home run and two additional runs scored in Monday's 9-8 loss to the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Happ celebrated his 30th birthday in style as he reached the 20-homer plateau for the second straight season and third time in the last four years. The outfielder also demonstrated his good eye at the plate as he drew three walks in a game for the first time this season. Happ is now riding a four-game hitting streak as well, and he's gone deep three times during the hot streak.

Happ went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-6 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Happ took the fourth pitch of the game from Garrett Crochet deep for his 19th home run of the season and second in as many games. 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. If he keeps up his recent power surge, that figure could be in sight soon.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Happ (shoulder) will bat leadoff and start in left field Monday against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Hap was scratched from the lineup ahead of Sunday's 6-2 win over the Cardinals with shoulder soreness, but the injury won't cost him more than one game. The outfielder enters Monday's contest having gone hitless with five strikeouts in his last 11 at-bats.
