Ian Happ Avoids Structural Damage After Getting Hit by Pitch vs. Brewers
Chicago Cubs left fielder Ian Happ was one of several players hit by a pitch in Saturday afternoon’s contest against the Milwaukee Brewers. However, Happ was the only player forced to leave the game after getting struck in the knee cap by Trevor Gott.
Thankfully, the 27-year-old avoided major injury after the x-rays confirmed no structural damage to his knee.
Ian Happ said he was hit on the kneecap by that pitch. Good news for Cubs: X-rays came back negative.
