Coghlan will bat leadoff Wednesday against the Red Sox.

Coghlan has hit in the leadoff spot just once prior to Wednesday, but Dexter Fowler was moved to cleanup, which is a bit confusing. He's hitting just .214 on the season, so it would be surprising if the leadoff role becomes permanent for him, but it could provide a big boost in his counting stats if it did.

Coghlan typically only sits against lefties, but he'll head to bench Friday as Junior Lake steps in for a rare start against a right-hander (Josh Collmenter).

He could be in danger of losing out on more time if he doesn't pick it up soon.

Coghlan played third base Monday and second base Tuesday.

Granted, it was only three innings at the hot corner Monday night and only inning at second Tuesday, but that could be enough to make him eligible at a couple of extra positions in some leagues. Tommy La Stella (side) went on the DL on Tuesday, and Mike Olt is a bit banged up as well, so the Cubs were a bit desperate for infielders. Kris Bryant could be up by this weekend, so don't expect to see too much more of Coghlan in the infield.

Coghlan is 11-for-38 (.289 average) with two homers and nine walks this spring and figures to start in left field at least against right-handed pitching early on.

Coghlan was scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to a stiff neck.

Coghlan's neck issue is considered minor, however, and he's believed to be day-to-day. With Javier Baez gone, Arismendy Alcantara was shifted back to second base, making Coghlan the presumptive favorite to start in left field. While the issue shouldn't be much cause for concern, his spot in left field isn't necessarily guaranteed, with Chris Denorfia also in the mix.
