If Alfonso Soriano (calf) has to go on the disabled list, Murton would likely get called up from Triple-A Iowa. In that case, Murton would likely see time in left field when Reed Johnson’s in center - mostly against left-handed pitching. Mark DeRosa could also be in the mix, with Mike Fontenot moving to second base. (Rotowire)

However, the Chicago Tribune believes the Cubs will call up Eric Patterson, not Matt Murton, as the replacement for Alfonso Soriano should Soriano land on the DL. If that really happens, then Jim Hendrhy was lying through his teeth when he kept saying he thought Murton would be a solid left fielder on a lot of teams. The Tribune’s Paul Sullivan suspects the Cubs will give Mark DeRosa a lot of time in left field, with Mike Fontenot taking over at second. (Rotoworld)
