EDGE Analysis

Happ got the scoring started for both teams in the fourth inning with his 15th home run of the season. The veteran outfielder is on pace to surpass the 23 long balls he recorded during the 2025 regular season if he can stay healthy, and he could push toward the first 30-homer campaign of his 10-year MLB career. The power surge has Happ's OPS at .838, which would be his highest since 2020.

Happ went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, an additional run scored and three total RBI in Thursday's 7-6 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Happ delivered his second straight two-hit effort and helped power the Cubs to a win. The veteran is now up 14 home runs and 34 RBI through 59 games, while also scoring 42 runs. Happ has been a consistent fantasy performer for a number of years now, and his ability to regularly get on base and hit for decent power sustains his value. The outfielder also rarely misses time, having played in 150 games or more the last four seasons. Happ has played in all but four of Chicago's contests so far this year.

Happ went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Cardinals.

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.

Happ went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

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 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.
