Ian Happ, Chicago Cubs and Oblique Injury
Digest more
Chicago Cubs leadoff batter Ian Happ is held out of Saturday's game with an oblique injury, which has caused other players to miss time.
With Marlins left-hander Ryan Weathers on the mound Wednesday, shortstop Dansby Swanson, a right-handed hitter, led off instead of center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong, a left-handed hitter. It was the 41st time in Swanson’s career that he’d started in the leadoff spot, and his first as a Cub.
