If you, like me, are excited by the news of RHP Neil Ramirez returning to the Cubs, you’re also probably pretty happy about the injury progress of another key Cub. Jorge Soler is beginning his rehab in Triple-A today.
Before last night’s game, Joe Maddon wouldn’t say how many games it would take for Soler to be ready to come back to Chicago, but it doesn’t sound like it’ll be too long.
The Cubs certainly need him back, as the offense has taken a nosedive over the past week. It has been a tough stretch of games, but not all that surprising considering the Cubs had to face the Dodgers and Cardinals.
