Ian Happ has primarily been an outfield for the Chicago Cubs. Kyle Schwarber is playing left, and he was a 3 WAR player last season. Jason Heyward is having a breakout season as a Cub this year, Kris Bryant is spending time in the outfield this year, and Albert Almora is manning center field.

- Almora: 93 wRC+, .
