Ian Happ taking seat for Cubs against Brewers
Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ is not in the lineup for Friday afternoon's series opener against left-hander Brett Anderson and the Milwaukee Brewers.
What It Means:
Happ appears to be getting a breather for the Friday matinee. Kris Bryant will cover left field and Jason Heyward will make the start in right while batting sixth.
numberFire’s models project Heyward for 8.9 FanDuel points versus the Brewers and he has a salary of $2,400 on Friday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cubs have an implied total of 4.9 runs and Anderson owns the lowest strikeout percentage (11.6) among the 30 listed starters.
