 More Cubs NewsAlfonso Soriano ran with no problems on Friday, and will run again Saturday. The Cubs outfielder is getting close to running onto the field with the rest of the starting lineup. Soriano, sidelined since Monday night with a strained left hamstring, said he still had some pain in his left leg but was feeling better. He was able to take batting practice Wednesday and Thursday in Atlanta, but hitting isn't the problem. "It's running -- that's the problem," Soriano said Friday. "I feel it a little bit. We'll see maybe today or tomorrow how I feel and from there play Sunday, and who knows? Maybe tomorrow." Soriano is a little more optimistic than Cubs manager Lou Piniella. "He'll run again tomorrow, and the outcome of that will determine when we get him back in," Piniella said. "The trainer seems to think Monday or Tuesday." |
