Cubs' Dexter Fowler: Does lateral movement Monday

Fowler (hamstring) has begun participating in drills involving lateral movement, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Fowler remains without an exact date for the start of a rehab assignment, but Monday's workout appears to be a step in the right direction for the center fielder. At this point, the most likely scenario is that the Cubs take a conservative approach and hold Fowler out until after the All-Star break. Whether it's Jason Heyward or Albert Almora getting reps in center, the first-place Cubs have plenty of depth to hold them over.
