Ian Happ I. Happ

Ian Happ sitting for Cubs' matinee Thursday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Chad Kuhl and the Pittsburgh Pirates.

What It Means:

Happ will yield center field to Cameron Maybin and the leadoff spot to Anthony Rizzo. Willson Contreras and Jason Heyward will be the Cubs' 2-3 batters. Victor Caratini will start at catcher and hit eighth.

numberFire's models expect Caratini to score 8.4 FanDuel points on Thursday with a salary of $2,200. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cubs currently have an implied total of 5.2 runs.
