Soriano Out For 6 Weeks With Broken Finger

Alfonso Soriano was just starting to get his legs under him, but he'll now be sidelined for six weeks with a broken finger.

Quote:
"It's a costly loss," Cubs manager Lou Piniella said. "It's a bad break for us, it really is." Soriano suffered a minimally displaced fracture of the fourth metacarpal on his left hand when he was hit by a pitch by Atlanta's Jeff Bennett in the second inning of the Cubs' 7-2 victory Wednesday night.
"You never want one of your guys to go down, no matter who it is," Ryan Theriot said. "Guys are just going to have to pick up the slack, and I think we're going to be fine."
X-rays revealed the break, and Soriano's finger will be in a splint for three weeks. Team officials said they will have a better idea after that as to when he can return. However, he is expected to be sidelined a minimum of six weeks.
