Fowler (hamstring) may not be ready to return from the disabled list Monday against the Reds, when he is first eligible for activation, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Considering their position in the NL Central race, and that the All-Star break is just around the corner, it's easy to see a scenario in which the Cubs opt to rest Fowler until their first series after the All-Star break. Nevertheless, his status will be worth monitoring coming out of the weekend in case he makes more progress than expected in his rehab work.
