Cubs' Dexter Fowler: Sits Sunday night
Fowler (hamstring) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Pirates.
Analysis:
Fowler is currently nursing a sore hamstring, and although the ailment isn't expected to be serious, the team will take a conservative approach and rest their regular center fielder. In his stead, Jason Heyward will shift to center field, while Chris Coghlan will bat leadoff in the order. Consider Fowler day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener in St. Louis.
