damn...

Double damn. I'm a big Cubs' fan plus I have Soriano in my H2H league and my Roto league. Already had 1 trip to the DL but has been playing extremely well ever since. Hope it's not serious but I expect the worst.

fracture in left hand.. reported by espn broadcast.

According to the broadcasters it is not a bad break, and that he will probably be day to day. Hopefully he can avoid a DL stint

[RRGL1]

Per the telecast, he is out a minimum of 6 weeks, no avoiding the DL there.

according to espn broadcasters, its a 6week + thing..

[Tommy John]

Wonder if this will open the door for Murton, or will they just move Fontenot to second and DeRosa to left? Would like to see Murton get some time, consistently, at least building up trade value because his skill set is above the triple A level.

Soriano out 6 weeks

By Paul Sullivan, 9:15 p.m.

Alfonso Soriano will be in a splint for three weeks with a broken bone in his left hand, and is expected to miss approximately six weeks of action.

X-rays of the hand taken at Northwestern Memorial hospital revealed a minimally displaced fracture of the left fourth metacarpal, located just under the fourth finger on his left hand.

Soriano was hit in the left hand by a pitch from Braves starter Jeff Bennett and was removed from the game for a pinch-runner in the second inning..

The Cubs will call up outfielder Micah Hoffpauir from Triple-A Iowa on Thursday to take Soriano’s place on the roster.
