Cubs left fielder Ian Happ was out of the lineup for a third straight game on Monday, as the Cubs opened a three-game series against the Marlins at Wrigley Field. And manager Craig Counsell was no longer ruling out a stint on the injured list.

“As the days go here, if we have symptoms still, then we have to start talking about it,” Counsell said before the game Monday.

Happ was scheduled to ramp up activity Monday, Counsell said, rather than Sunday as originally expected.
