Injuries:
Chicago (N)'s Soriano Down with Injury
Chicago (N) fans will be disappointed to learn that
Alfonso Soriano suffered a broken right big toe while making a defensive play in today's game. After the doctor informed the
Chicago (N) Cubs manager that
Soriano was expected to miss 3 weeks, the manager told the press that the rest of the team would have to step up their play until the left fielder could return. "You can't make excuses in baseball, because there's always a game tomorrow," said the team's skipper. So far this season
Soriano has gotten 9 hits in 38 at-bats for a .237 batting average with 3 home runs. His stats include 7 RBIs and 4 runs scored. He has played in 9 games.
Transactions:
The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed 17 year old middle reliever, Orlando Jimenez to a 1-year contract worth a total of $400,000. He was discovered by their scouts in Santa Catarina, Mexico. The word out is that he may make it to the Major Leagues if the timing is right and he gets some good coaching.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have claimed left handed middle reliever Aaron Laffey off waivers from the Cleveland Indians. Last year Aaron appeared in 16 games for the Indians, winning 5 and losing 7 with a 4.23 ERA. He has a 1 year contract worth $408,700.
