Soler's playing time in 2016 will likely take a hit with the Cubs' decision to re-sign Dexter Fowler on Thursday, the Chicago Tribune reports.

With Fowler in center and Jason Heyward in right, Soler may platoon with Kyle Schwarber in left, seeing his start there against left-handed pitching, or against righties when manager Joe Maddon deploys Schwarber behind the plate in place of Miguel Montero. A trade out of Chicago or an injury to one of the regulars in front of him appear to be Soler's only paths to everyday playing time this season.
