The Chicago Cubs Ian Happ is back. Thursday, Tommy Birch of the Des Moines Register reported that the Chicago Cubs are recalling Happ from Triple-A Iowa. Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer later confirmed the promotion to 670 The Score.
Happ was one of the Cubs last cuts in spring training after hitting just .135/.196/.192 in 52 at-bats. This followed his tough 2018 season in which he struck out in 36.1 percent of his plate appearances.
Fans have clamored for the Cubs to recall Happ for months now, but the team stressed patience to allow the 24-year-old to work on his swing with Iowa.
