The Chicago Cubs are giving Ian Happ a second chance.

Chicago is expected to call up the infielder/outfielder within the next 36 hours, according to a source with direct knowledge of the situation. Chicago general manager Jed Hoyer also confirmed the move with Chicago radio station, 670 The Score. Happ has spent the entire season with the Triple-A Iowa Cubs.

The Chicago Cubs are off Thursday before continuing a nine-game road trip with a 7:10 p.m. Friday game at Milwaukee.

A first-round pick by Chicago in 2015, Happ has compiled a slash line of .242/.364/.432 in 99 games with Iowa this season. The switch-hitting Happ turned the corner following a slow start to the season. In his past 10 games with the Iowa Cubs, Happ hit .333 (11-for-33) with 10 runs, nine walks and three homers and just six strikeouts.

Happ is starting to show signs of his old self, of the player who hit .253 with 24 homers and an .842 OPS in 2017. But Happ had struggled since. He hit just .233 with 167 strikeouts in 142 games with Chicago last season. And when Happ struggled again in spring training, the Cubs sent him back to the minors to cut down on the strikeouts and rediscover his swing.

It took time, though. Happ hit just .233 this April and only .242 in May. The struggles continued into June, where Happ hit just .188. The second half of the season has been a different story for Happ, who is .324 so far this month, bashing five homers and tallying an OPS of 1.059.
