Cubs catcher Geovany Soto was not available to play in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Reds because of a mild ligament sprain in his right shoulder.
Soto's shoulder bothers him when he's hitting, not throwing. He was not expected back in the Cubs' lineup until Monday at the earliest.

Cubs catcher Geovany Soto is day-to-day after fouling a ball off his left foot in the third inning of Monday night's 5-2 win over the Astros.
Soto had another at-bat in the sixth and was then lifted on defense. He tried to stay in the game, but his foot stiffened up, and the Cubs athletic trainers decided treatment was a better option. The ball hit him in the arch of his foot.
