Cubs' Jorge Soler: Will begin rehab assignment Saturday

Soler (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment Saturday for Double-A Tennessee, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Soler, who has a history of hamstring injuries, has been sidelined by the Cubs since June 7. The Cubs will play it safe with the 24-year-old to make sure his hamstring is 100 percent before activating him. With teammate Chris Coghlan also on a rehab assignment, the Cubs outfield could become crowded very quickly.
