Coghlan agreed to a $4.8 million deal with the Cubs on Friday, avoiding arbitration, MLB.com's Carrie Muskat reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old outfielder set career highs in home runs (16) and steals (11) last season, but it will be hard for him to get close to the 503 plate appearances he saw last year unless the Cubs trade someone like Jorge Soler. Look for him to be the Cubs' fourth outfielder if nothing changes between now and Opening Day.

Coghlan is not in the lineup to start Game 3 of the NLCS.
EDGE Analysis
Coghlan got the start in place of Jorge Soler in Game 2 and the 30-year-old promptly delivered an 0-for-4 performance. He will likely find himself in the game at some point, -- either as a pinch-hitter or defensive replacement -- but he likely won't provide much fantasy value on Tuesday.

Coghlan will start Game 2 of the NLCS, MLB.com's Carrie Muskat reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coghlan homered off Game 2 starter Noah Syndergaard in the rookie's MLB debut in May and the Cubs are hoping he can repeat the experience Sunday.

Coghlan is not in the lineup for Game 2 of the Cubs' NLDS matchup with the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Coghlan got the nod in Friday's contest, but he will be replaced by Austin Jackson on Saturday as the Cubs go with a righty-heavy lineup against Cardinals starter Jaime Garcia.

Coghlan is starting in Game 1 of the NLDS on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
After sitting out of a power-heavy lineup in the Wildcard matchup against the Pirates, Coghlan will be reinserted into the lineup to play right field and hit sixth in the batting order against the Cardinals. The 30-year-old outfielder has had some success against starter John Lackey in his career -- in 17 at-bats, he's sporting a .471 batting average with a double and two RBI.

Coghlan went 3-for-4 with a double and run scored in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Coghlan's multi-hit performance ends a woeful 2-for-28 skid. The versatile Coghlan has been an asset for the Cubs, making starts at five different positions while belting a career-high 16 home runs. Despite receiving 437 at-bats, Coghlan hasn't started a game against a left-handed pitcher in 2015.

Coghlan is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
While Coghlan has seen the heart of the Cubs' batting order regularly, he still hasn't started against a left-handed starter in 2015. Jorge Soler will take over his old right field spot with Pirates southpaw Francisco Liriano on the mound.

Coghlan is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Joe Maddon is opting to sit most of his left-handed and switch hitting players against Cardinals starter Michael Wacha, a right-handed pitcher with great splits against lefties. In Coghlan's stead, Jorge Soler will make his return to the lineup.

Coghlan is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Lefty J.A. Happ is due up for Pittsburgh in Game 2, so it's no surprise to see Coghlan on the bench. Coghlan has gone 4-for-42 against southpaws this season and is just a .230/.309/.316 career hitter against left-handed pitching.

Coghlan tripled twice and homered as a part of a four-hit effort Sunday against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Coghlan turned in a huge series, producing five extra-base hits and driving in four runs while starting three games. He should continue to see the larger portion of the platoon duties with Austin Jackson in right field until Jorge Soler (oblique) finishes his rehab assignment.
