Ian Happ doubled twice and knocked in a run in the Cubs’ 4-0 shutout of the Phillies on Friday.
Happ has 16 hits during a nine-game hitting streak that’s raised his average from .208 to .274. Being the major league leader in plate appearances for a strong offensive team has definitely aided his fantasy value in the early going. He’s not off to an outstanding start with his .738 OPS, but he’s ninth in the majors with 21 runs scored and tied for 44th with 14 RBI.
