CHICAGO -- Chicago Cubs outfielder Alfonso Soriano limped off the field Sunday night with a strained right quad, and his status was day-to-day.

Soriano had singled with two outs in the Cubs third, the first hit off New York Mets pitcher Tom Glavine. Ryan Theriot then singled to center, and Soriano started running to third. About four steps after rounding second base, Soriano pulled up and tried to hop to third on his left leg.

The sellout crowd at Wrigley Field was silent as Soriano was helped off the field.

The outfielder, sidelined earlier this season with a strained left hamstring, was batting .296 with 18 homers and 42 RBIs, and his single ended an 0-for-9 streak. He now is 21-for-88 in his last 20 games.

Lou just said minimum 2 weeks, most likely a month.

I haven't been following Alfonso on the Cubs too much but 18 HR and 42 RBI in 103 games? You gave this guy $17 million a year for that?

Leadoff hitters generally don't get many RBI's.

Hasn't he been leading off his whole career? And if he wasn't(which he was), $17 million for a leadoff hitter? I don't think so...

I think in Washington he was a 3 hitter and in New York during the beginning of his career he was a 2 hitter. I think he hit after Jeter.

[GYBE]

Most Cubs fans would probably agree that he should be hitting in the middle of the order rather than leading off. It's not our choice though.

[SportsWorld]

This injury may be a blessing in disguise. Felix Pie will probably come up and get a lot of playing time and prove himself.

[Howling Mad]

This is not good guys, not good.

I had my hands on my head and was speechless.

[treyZz]

No need to fear Felix should be here.

[Howling Mad]

I hope your right treyZz but can Felix bat leadoff or can somebody else... Fontenot, Theriot, etc...?

[treyZz]

I think he could hit anywhere in the lineup, but I wouldn't throw him in the lead off spot right away.

I'm curious to see what Lou does.

[SportsWorld]

I think Theriot will bat in the leadoff spot. He gets on base a lot. He has a .360 OBP this year.

[IbreakNeckZ101]

I agree this might be a blessing in disguise.. even though i terribly hate soriano we do need him..

[SportsWorld]

Not to be funny but Soriano looked like Barbaro while rounding 2nd base.
He was hopping on one foot kind of like when Barbaro got hurt

[SportsWorld]

ESPN is saying Fonzie will miss 2-4 weeks.
