Zobrist will not lead off for the Cubs when Dexter Fowler is in the lineup, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.
Analysis:
The 34-year-old is still a leadoff option on days Dexter Fowler doesn't play. Keep an eye on his situation, especially in relation to Jason Heyward and Fowler, during spring training and heading into the season. Either way, Zobrist should be in the lineup most days, and he may move around a bit in the order, but in a stacked Cubs lineup, there will be plenty of counting stats to go around.
