Albert Almora Jr. Out of Lineup Saturday in Favor of Ian Happ
6 years agoChicago Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. is not in the Cubs lineup Saturday against the Reds. This is just a normal day of rest for Almora, who had led off each of the past three games. Happ is hitting fifth and is playing third base for just the sixth time in 2018. The switch-hitter has been much better against righties in 2018 so far. Happ is slashing .260/.397/.473 with seven home runs, 22 runs, 16 RBI and three steals in 150 at-bats from the left side of the plate. With a run total of 8.5 and favorable weather, Happ should be a good early DFS play in what looks to be a high-scoring game.
