Alfonso Soriano fractured his right middle finger during fly ball drills. The all star outfielder will miss up to five days while recovering. Soriano was working against the outfield wall when he reached up to make a basic two-handed catch and the ball hit the tip of his finger.
How this will affect Soriano who was still not one-hundred percent coming into Spring Training from the strained quad that sidelined him for a month last year is unknown. Although, Soriano is not worried but he will still be limited to cardio over the five day span.
Alfonso Soriano joined Aramis Ramirez, Mark DeRosa, Felix Pie and Jose Ascanio as Cub players who have suffered through a variety of injuries ranging from a sore shoulder, an irregular heartbeat, twisted testicle as well as a victim of a robbery attempt.
