Cubs place Chris Coghlan (rib) on the 15-day disabled list

The Chicago Cubs placed outfielder Chris Coghlan on the 15-day disabled list with a right rib contusion.

What It Means:

Coghlan suffered the injury in a collision during the first game against the Milwaukee Brewers in Tuesday's doubleheader. There is no current timetable for his return, but this isn't exactly a killer blow to the Cubs beyond mere depth.

In 78 games, Coghlan was hitting just .165/.261/.288 this season with five home runs. Our algorithms project him for 79 more plate appearances with two home runs and a .681 OPS.
