CHICAGO - While the Chicago Cubs hope injured outfielder Dexter Fowler can play in his first All-Star Game next week, their bigger concern is getting him healthy for the second half of the season.Fowler has been out of the lineup since injuring his right hamstring on June 18.He wants to play in the All-Star Game, manager Joe Maddon said Wednesday morning. Dont anyone fault him for that. Its a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. And Im all for it. Lets see how this plays the rest of the weekend, but the overriding concern is that he plays for us the rest of the year.Fowler was eligible to come off the disabled list on Monday but wasnt deemed ready. On Tuesday he was elected to start his first All-Star Game, July 12.The plan, according to Maddon, is for Fowler to play a couple days in the minors later this week then play in the All-Star Game and be activated after the break. If he cant go on a rehab assignment by the weekend, then he would probably miss the All-Star Game.We have a potential plan in regards to when hell be available, Maddon said. We have to know something by Thursday or Friday. The next two days will tell if he can participate or not.Its just how the leg reacts. When he comes back, whether its this week, All-Star Game or after the break, hell still have to be guarded when he runs.Maddon didnt rule anything out, including Fowler playing this weekend for the Cubs in Pittsburgh, though thats doubtful.The Cubs are 6-11 since Fowler was injured.

"Im in a really good position for tomorrow," Scott said.Rory McIlroy is on the brink of bringing his 15-month winless run to a close, says Rob Lee. McIlroy missed out on the Honda Classic as Russell Henley secured victory in a four-man play-off, the Northern Irishman paying the price after shooting a four-over-par final round in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.The 24-year-old began the day two shots clear of his American rival but unravelled before striking a sensational approach to the 18th hole that gave him a shot at the title he couldnt take. McIlroy subsequently admitted that he didnt deserve to win the tournament and Lee commended him for speaking so honestly.World-class plusYouve got to love Rory for telling it how it is - theres no covering up or clouding over the issues and he feels that he didnt play the golf in the final round that he would have liked to have played.Having said that, it really does boil down to just one shot: the one he made his mistake on was his second to 16 from the left-hand fairway bunker. He tried to hit a quite fancy six iron draw shot when the squeeze left to right would have been better.But he went with the flair six iron and found the water. It was bad decision making. He got himself out of position in the tournament but then his second shot into the 18th was fantastic - he had a little peninsular of green to aim at and it was unhittable.But he hit a fairway wood into there to give him a chance for the eagle and the win; the shot he hit was world-class plus given the pressure he was under after having a nightmare for 12 holes. He missed the putt and lost in the play-off, however, there were lots of positives for Rory.ddddddddddddPositionHe could have won in Dubai, where he had a bad final round and he could have won here, where for him he had a bad final round.But compare this to a year ago, it seems that week-in, week-out Rory is in with a chance to win. Hes putting himself, in his words, into position.Thats all hes looking for, really; hes going to have his fair share of conversions as we go through the year so wins are around the corner. It might even be this week at Doral because hes one of the guys that can really bounce back really quickly.Hes finished second here so its not a disaster. What happened to Tiger is a disaster - he had a bad week and pulled out with a bad back, whereas Rory lost in a play-off and will move on.ProtectiveWith the Masters starting on April 10, Lee told Sky Sports News that Woods withdrawal was most likely to be a precautionary measure to ensure he doesnt aggravate his lower back.Given that hes playing at venues that hes used to, Tiger would have liked to have had won once or at least really contended - that really hasnt happened. His golf isnt where he wants it to be and hes playing poorly for him.He was five-over par when he packed in at 13. He said hed been having twinges on the range before he started and they continued through the round.Perhaps its a protective thing to ensure that he doesnt damage it any further. But something in the back of my mind tells me that if he was in contention and leading by a shot, would he have carried on? The answer is probably yes. ' ' '
