CHICAGO - The Chicago Cubs placed outfielder Alfonso Soriano on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday with a left quadriceps strain. Soriano left Monday's 12-7 home loss to Houston after injuring the quad while running out a ground ball in the first inning. He is batting .271 with a team- leading 12 home runs and 29 RBI in 49 games this season. To fill the roster spot, the Cubs recalled outfielder Tyler Colvin from Triple-A Iowa.
