Sitting against lefty

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

Analysis

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.

Riding pine Monday

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

Analysis

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.
