Soriano Gives The Finger

Soriano suffered a small fracture to the tip of his right middle finger. The player was injured during drills on Saturday while attempting to catch a pop fly with the traditional two handed method, which we all know he doesn't do frequently. Soriano was continuing to work on catching balls up against the wall in an effort to mitigate potential injuries due to the bricks at Wrigley Field (BID NOW TO NAME THE FIELD AFTER YOUR OUTSTANDING AMERICAN CONSUMER PRODUCT!).

Looks like Soriano will be out about 5 days, though the finger swelling will not prevent him from conditioning his legs.

In other health news, DeRosa is looking at around March 10th for his next game action. Ascanio is fine after being punched. Pie is showing no lingering impact from a twisted testicle (no details on that!). Ramirez is still down with a sore shoulder.
