Tuesday's MRI confirmed a hamstring strain for Soler and he has been placed on the 15-day disabled list, Mark Gonzales of The Chicago Tribune reports.

The Cubs will promote longtime prospect Albert Almora to take Soler's place in the outfield with Soler headed to the DL. According to Gonzales, Soler is expected to miss more than the minimum 15 days while he's on the DL, so this could be a lengthy audition for Almora. Soler's injury comes at an unfortunate time as he had begun to turn things around at the plate in recent weeks, slashing .310/.444/.552 with two home runs over the last two weeks.
