Cubs' Ian Happ says IL not needed after fouling ball off shin

MILWAUKEE -- Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ won't require a stint on the injured list after fouling a ball off his shin against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Happ wasn't in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale but said he could be available if necessary. X-rays taken on Happ's shin were negative.

"Nothing serious," Happ said before the game, adding that he did feel "a little sore and stiff."

The incident occurred Tuesday during the eighth inning of the Cubs' 9-3 loss to the Brewers and caused him to exit the game.
