Fowler (ankle) is back in the Cubs' lineup Friday. He will return to patrolling center field and hitting leadoff for the Cubs after coming off the bench for a few games due to an ankle issue. After a hot start to the season Fowler is hitting .238, but his eight home runs and 11 steals in 70 games this season already matches the totals he posted in 116 games last season, so there is some counting stat production to be had here.
