Jul 2 C Geovany Soto hit his eighth homer of the season. Of his last five hits, three have been for extra bases (homer, double, triple). Yahoo! Sports


Jul 1 Soto went 2-for-4 with a triple and an RBI in the Cubs' win over the Pirates Wednesday.

Recommendation: He has now gone 20-for-66 over his last 20 games. He has 11 extra-base hits in those games to go with his 12 RBI, and he is now inching closer to being atop a very shallow NL catching class.

Jun 25 Soto says he is embarrassed after testing positive for marijuana at this year's World Baseball Classic.

Advice: Soto says he will accept any consequences for his mistake. The Cubs released a statement during Thursday's 6-5 loss at Detroit saying they were unhappy about the news. The Cubs also said it was the first positive drug test of Soto's career. Soto was chosen as the National League Rookie of the Year last season after hitting .285 with 23 home runs.
