What happened: Ian Happ was involved in an injury delay in the bottom of the seventh inning, with the score 5-3. Play was paused while the situation was assessed before the game resumed.

Why it matters: Happ is an everyday bat whose availability shapes the lineup, so any in-game stoppage involving him draws immediate attention. It follows a similar stoppage earlier this month, when Happ was involved in an injury delay during the ninth inning.

What to watch: Watch for an official status update on whether Happ stays in the game or is removed, and whether he appears in the next lineup.
