Fowler continues to work out his injured hamstring and the Cubs feel he may do some rehab games next week. Maddon said that "By the end of the coming week, he'll be available to us". (Cub's MLB.com page)

Fantasy Impact:

While this is not quite as soon as the original optimistic hope that he might be back for either the All-Star game or the Texas series, it is still good news. Fowler is a key table-setter for the Cubs and had gotten off to a great start. When he is healthy, he has a great situation batting on top of the Cubs lineup. He will sprinkle in a few HR and stolen bases to go with his runs scored and RBI production.
