Soriano's injury is a hamstring strain:
Expected to miss a week; Pie called up from Iowa
Quote:
CHICAGO -- An MRI exam on Alfonso Soriano's left leg revealed a minor hamstring strain, and he did not expect to need more than a week to heal. The Cubs medical staff apparently agreed, because Soriano was not placed on the disabled list Tuesday.
The Cubs instead called up outfielder Felix Pie from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday as backup, and optioned reliever Angel Guzman to the Minor League team.

Good news considering this injury could have been much more sever. Pie came up yesterday and had a good game, which was nice to see. Maybe this 7-10 periord of time off is what Soriano needed with all of his offensive struggles.
