BB-8 was at the forefront of the marketing for The Force Awakens, something that was reflected when the movie rolled around and he stole the show.

This time, however, they're being very restrained with the astromech. He hardly appeared in the teaser, and only gets one brief moment in this trailer as well.

Thankfully it's a good one, showing him as part of the battle over D'Qar, and we know he'll be a prominent part of the movie - Rian Johnson compared him to Buster Keaton. With Porgs in the mix as well, though, the marketing team have perhaps decided to tone it down slightly with the adorableness. Boo.
