Coghlan went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in a 7-3 win over the Phillies on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Coghlan continues to hit in the three-hole against right-handers and he's starting to become mixed-league relevant. Against righties this season, Coghlan has 15 home runs, 20 doubles, 37 RBI and 11 steals. Keep an eye on an upcoming schedule and if the Cubs get a week full of righties, Coghlan is worth a shot in almost any format.

Coghlan is out of Saturday's lineup against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

He figures to see semi-regular starts at left field with Kyle Schwarber out, but will take a seat with Arizona southpaw Robbie Ray on the mound. Kris Bryant will move over to start at left field, while Javier Baez gets the first third base start of the season.

Coghlan is out of the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coghlan will sit for the third time in four days Sunday, likely due to the continued presence of southpaws on the mound. Alex Wood will start against the Cubs on Sunday, resulting in Chris Denorfia's presence in the lineup once again.

Coghlan is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

He will sit for a second straight day with the Cubs facing another lefty in Clayton Kershaw. Chris Denorfia will take over in right field Friday while Kris Bryant once again occupies the No. 3 spot in the batting order.

Coghlan is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox. Chris Denorfia draws the start in left field with lefty Chris Sale due up for the South Siders. As hot as Coghlan was in June (.317/.434/.451), he's been as cold to begin July, going 4-for-27 without an extra-base hit. To his credit, he has walked more than he's struck out this month.

Coghlan is not in the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Coghlan is still a consistent presence in the lineup against right-handed pitchers, having started each of the previous six games. The Cubs are scheduled to face lefties in both games of Tuesday's doubleheader, so Coghlan will likely be limited to a bench role for the day.

Coghlan is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Mets. Coghlan has five hits over his last three games, but he'll take a seat Tuesday as Matt Szczur gets the nod in left field.

Coghlan is not in the lineup Monday against the Dodgers. It looks to be a scheduled day off for Coghlan, who will sit against left-hander Clayton Kershaw. Coghlan is hitting just .188 against southpaws this season, compared to .258 versus righties.

Coghlan got on base five times Wednesday against the Indians, going 2-for-3 with three walks and three runs scored. He batted cleanup, but didn't drive in a run despite the Cubs scoring 17 of them. Coghlan has been racking up the hits lately, having gone 13-for-31 (.419) over the last 10 days. He's struck out only one time in that span.

Coghlan will bat cleanup Wednesday against Cleveland. Miguel Montero was scratched due to back stiffness, so Coghlan will move up from the No. 6 spot, with manager Joe Maddon preferring to alternate lefty and righty bats. It marks Coghlan's fifth start in the cleanup spot this season -- he went 6-for-14 with four doubles and a homer in his first four starts there.
