Ian Happ's Slump Continues Despite Cubs' Victory

Ian Happ struggled at the plate in the Cubs' 3-1 win over the Mets, going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and a walk.

Fantasy Impact

This performance is a continuation of what has been a challenging season for Happ, whose batting average lingers at a modest .222 through 26 games. His on-base skills are still evident with a decent walk rate of .138, but the lack of impactful hits and a high strikeout rate are concerning for fantasy managers. Given his current form, it might be wise to consider benching Happ until he shows signs of a turnaround, especially in leagues where batting average is a critical category.
