Geovany Soto Placed On DL With Right Shoulder Sprain

2010 has been a big bounce-back year for the Cubs’ Geovany Soto, who has batted .288/.401/.519 with 15 home runs over 317 trips to the plate. Unfortunately, he’s going to have to put his season on pause for a little while, as he’s off to the disabled list:

Soto has been bothered by a mild ligament sprain in his shoulder for a few days, and hasn’t played since Friday. In his place, the Cubs have gone with the much more defensive-minded Koyie Hill, whose season OPS is very nearly half of Soto’s.
