Goes deep again in loss
Happ went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Cardinals.
Análisis
Happ launched a three-run shot off Andre Pallante in the first inning, marking his third straight game with a homer. 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.

Keeps rolling Thursday
Happ went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Pirates.
Análisis
Following a 10-game losing streak for the Cubs, Happ has now powered the team to consecutive wins. On Wednesday, the veteran delivered a season-best five RBI on two hits, and he followed that up Thursday with three more hits and two more RBI on his 12th home run of the season. 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.

Piles up season-high five RBI
Happ went 2-for-6 with a home run and five RBI in Wednesday's 10-4 win over the Pirates.
Análisis
The switch-hitting outfielder tallied a season high in RBI and his third career game with at least five RBI, snapping a nine-game home-run drought in the process. Happ also provided his first multi-hit game since the May 15 win over the White Sox, now slashing .215/.346/.436 with 11 homers, 26 RBI, 36 runs scored and two stolen bases over 234 plate appearances.

Sitting for second straight day
Happ is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
Análisis
Happ will hit the bench for a second straight day in a move manager Craig Counsell is labeling a "mental breather," according to Jared Wyllys of AllCHGO.com. 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.
