Cubs' Ian Happ dealing with ankle injury
Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ is out of the starting lineup Thursday against the Pittsburgh Pirates due to an ankle injury.
What It Means:
Happ tweaked his ankle during Wednesday's game against the Pirates but Cubs manager David Ross didn't sound too concerned. Happ might be able to make it back by the weekend. Cameron Maybin will cover center field on Thursday afternoon and Anthony Rizzo will move into the leadoff spot.
numberFire's models expect Maybin to score 11.1 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.
