The Chicago Cubs are activating Gold Glove left fielder Ian Happ from the injured list ahead of Tuesday’s game against the host Miami Marlins.
Cubs president Jed Hoyer confirmed the move to the team’s radio flagship, 670 The Score. Rookie designated hitter Moises Ballesteros is expected to return to Triple-A Iowa to clear the roster spot.
Happ, 30, spent the minimum time on the 10-day IL after sustaining a left oblique strain on May 9. He is batting .269 with three homers and 19 RBIs in 39 games this season.
The Cubs selected Happ ninth overall in the 2015 MLB Draft out of the University of Cincinnati. He made his debut in 2017 and has hit .249 with 153 homers and 497 RBIs in 1,028 games.
Happ was an All-Star in 2022 and won the Gold Glove Award for left fielders in 2022, 2023 and 2024.
Ballesteros, 21, is the Cubs’ No. 4 prospect and No. 61 overall, according to MLB Pipeline. The native of Venezuela is batting .188 (3-for-16) with three runs and three RBIs in five games.
