Ian Happ Homers, But Cubs Fall Short Against Pirates
by Chase Davis | Cubs Correspondent | Fri, May 17th 8:48am EDT
Ian Happ went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Cubs' 5-4 loss to the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact:
His solo shot provided a glimmer of hope but wasn't enough to secure a win. Happ's season has been underwhelming with a batting average of just .220 through 40 games, and his power numbers have been modest at best. This home run, only his second of the season, might hint at potential improvements, but his high strikeout rate and low wOBA suggest fantasy managers should temper their expectations. His ability to draw walks is a small consolation, yet it doesn't quite compensate for the overall lack of production.
