Soto (knee) was officially placed on the disabled list Saturday, the Cubs' official Twitter page reports.
Recommendation: Soto is expected to miss 3-4 weeks following arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. His roster spot was filled by right-hander Randy Wells, who will join the team Saturday. Welington Castillo figures to handle catching duties most days with Soto injured, but Blake Lalli was called up to help out.

Advice: Soto is off to a slow start, batting .161 with three homers and six RBIs this season. The 29-year-old catcher hit .228 with 17 homers and 54 RBIs for Chicago last season.
