Ideally, outfielder Ian Happ would be the leadoff hitter on a daily basis. Happ has scuffled to start the season, though, hitting .135 with a .297 on-base percentage, .176 slugging percentage and 42 OPS+ in 23 games. He wasn’t in the lineup Wednesday but entered midgame because of the blowout, going 0-for-2 with a strikeout. Happ has led off 18 times, while Willson Contreras (three games) and Nico Hoerner (two) have gotten looks too.
Anthony Rizzo gets a turn atop the order as the Chicago Cubs try to solve the leadoff spot — and ends up pitching in a 10-0 loss to the Atlanta Braves
