Alfonso Soriano: Injury Report

Soriano injured his right leg while making a routine catch in leftfield. The injury occurred in the first inning of Tuesday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. The Cubs are calling the injury, which happened when Soriano made his trademark "hop," a "right calf strain." It's a good thing that the Cubs held onto leftfielder Matt Murton in the offseason. Murton may not hop around after catches, but he's a durable replacement with a career .296 batting average--.15 points better than Soriano's, by the way.
