Cubs outfield prospect Jorge Soler was benched Sunday for failing to run out two balls during Saturday's game.
Class-A Daytona manager Dave Keller said Soler sat "because within the philosophy and the work ethic that we are trying to create in this organization -- and that we are trying to get our players to understand -- work ethic, energy, determination, playing hard and running hard is part of the whole program." Soler is expected to return to the team's lineup Monday.
