Cubs' Dexter Fowler: Leaves with hamstring discomfort

Fowler exited Saturday's game against the Pirates with discomfort in his right hamstring, Cody Stavenhagen of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

The severity of Fowler's injury remains unclear, although the Cubs had the trainers immediately take him back to the locker room for further evaluation. Albert Almora took over in center field and will likely be the top candidate for extended playing time if Fowler is forced to sit out further.
