Chicago Cubs prospect Jorge Soler, who approached the opposing dugout wielding a bat during a Single-A game on Wednesday, has been suspended five games.

"Soler was an instigator and charged with a bat," Florida State League president Chuck Murphy said.

Soler was caught by teammates before he made it to the opposing dugout and never swung the bat, according to the Daytona Beach News Journal.

"Jorge is tremendously remorseful about what happened," Cubs president Theo Epstein said. "He understands what he did was wrong. He didn't sleep last night, up all night thinking about it. Very apologetic. He understands this can't happen again, and understands the discipline associated with it.

"According to Jorge, there was some back and forth with a player on the other team during most of the game. Eventually something was said about Jorge's family, and that's when he lost his cool. But he understands and we agree that that's not an excuse for what happened. He has to find a way to better manage his emotions on the field."
