Fowler is out of the lineup Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Analysis:

Fowler has made every start in center field for the Cubs this season, but has apparently been dealing with a sore hip as a result of a collision with teammate Kyle Schwarber on Thursday. By moving Jason Heyward to center field and sending Kris Bryant to right while Tommy La Stella mans the hot corner, manager Joe Maddon will be able to get Fowler some rest while also working La Stella into the lineup -- something he has been vocal about wanting to do more. Look for the lineup to get closer to normal when the Cubs open a three-game series against the Reds on Monday.
