LF Alfonso Soriano and 3B Aramis Ramirez figure to be stepping up their rehab efforts. The Cubs said trainer Mark O'Neal was headed to the Dominican Republic for sessions with Soriano and Ramirez. Soriano is coming off left knee surgery, and Ramirez suffered a dislocated left shoulder in May, an injury that put him out for two months and bothered him most of the season. Ramirez opted for strengthening exercises over surgery.
