Cubs' Chris Coghlan: In the lineup

Coghlan returns to the lineup, playing left field and batting fifth Friday against Miami.

Analysis:

Coghlan returns to the starting lineup following Thursday's game where he made just a pinch hit appearance. The 31-year-old has provided versatility in the Cubs' outfield since his acquisition on June 9, but his role is likely to diminish once everyday guys Jorge Soler and Dexter Fowler return from the DL. Until then, Coghlan has a chance to prove he should stick around in the lineup.
