Ian Happ's incredible diving catch
- Ian Happ played in his 1,000th major league game on Saturday - all with the Chicago Cubs.

Happ scored on a bases-loaded walk to Nico Hoerner in the first inning, and crossed the plate again in the fifth on a single from Justin Turner. The pair of singles give the Cubs a 2-1 lead. Happ should remain at the top of a pretty good Chicago lineup, and that provides opportunity for multi-run outings if he can get on base enough.
Happ doubled home a pair of runs in the first, and then swatted a solo shot off an ineffective Zac Gallen to extend the Cubs' lead to 4-2. The 30-year-old is coming off a 2024 campaign where he socked 25 homers and stolen 13 bases in a solid -- if unspectacular -- fantasy campaign. Happ should be in line for similiar numbers in 2025. You can do a lot worse.
