| Player Notes |
| August 13, 2008 Geovany Soto led the Cubs in Wednesday's 10-2 win over Atlanta, as he went 3-for-5 with four RBI. He hit a single, a double, and a two-run homer. |
| July 8, 2008 Geovany Soto hit his 16th home run on the year and contributed three RBI in the Cubs' 7-3 victory over the Reds on Tuesday. |
| July 6, 2008 Geovany Soto hit a solo shot in the eighth inning on Sunday, the same day the rookie catcher was announced as the starter in the All-Star game. It was his 15th home run of the year. |
| July 4, 2008 Geovany Soto went 3-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-1 win over the Cardinals. His other two hits were singles. |
| July 1, 2008 Geovany Soto went 1-for-4 and recorded the Cubs' lone RBI in a tough 2-1 loss to the Giants on Tuesday night. |
| June 27, 2008 Geovany Soto went 3-for-4 with one RBI on a solo home run in Friday's 10-3 loss to the cross-town rival White Sox. |
| June 17, 2008 The Chicago Tribune states that skipper Lou Piniella is likely to give Geovany Soto some rest during the three-game set against the Rays at Tropicana Field. Soto has played in 63 games so far this season. |
| June 10, 2008 The Cubs enjoyed solid efforts from a handful of players in the team's 10-5 win over Atlanta, but none were as potent as catcher Geovany Soto . Soto went 2-for-5 at the plate with his 11th home run of the season to total three RBIs and two runs scored on the night. |
| June 6, 2008 Geovany Soto didn't start Friday because of a swollen finger that he apparently aggravated on a swing, according to MLB.com. "He's got a little bit of swelling in his bottom hand," manager Lou Piniella said. "We're trying to figure out why the bottom hand leaves the bat. The one that should leave is the top hand. He swings and when the bottom hand comes off, somehow the top hand rubs over the finger and he has a little swelling in there." |
| May 29, 2008 Geovany Soto went 0-for-3 on Thursday to drop his average down to .299, only the second time it has been below .300 since April 18th. |
| May 19, 2008 Geovany Soto hit the first inside the park home run by a Cubs catcher since 1959 on Monday night as he knocked in three runs for the Cubs. |
| May 15, 2008 Geovany Soto will sit out of action today, according to the Chicago Tribune. Henry Blanco will catch starting hurler Ryan Dempster. |
| May 5, 2008 Geovany Soto hit his sixth home run of the season in a losing effort on Monday night as the Reds defeated the Cubs by the score of 5-3. |
| May 1, 2008 Geovany Soto set a Cubs' rookie record with 20 RBI in the month of April, according to MLB.com. |
| April 30, 2008 Geovany Soto hit two 3-run home runs on Wednesday night on his way to to six RBI for the Cubbies. |
| April 23, 2008 Geovany Soto hit his third home run of the season on Wednesday night as he had four hits to bump his average to .353. |
| April 10, 2008 Geovany Soto hit two-run homer in Chicago's five-run sixth inning, and the Cubs finished off a three-game sweep of Pittsburgh, winning 7-3 on Thursday night. Soto had three extra-base hits, including two doubles. It was Soto's second career four-hit game. |
| April 7, 2008 Geovany Soto had his first big day of the season as he went 3-for-7 with a run scored and two RBI for the Cubs. As great as that day was Soto left seven men on base so it could have been a really big afternoon. Soto should be able to hit, but he will need to improve his ability to throw out runners or he could start to lose a few starts moving forward. |
| April 7, 2008 Geovany Soto got the day off on Sunday to work on his throwing. Opponents are 7-for-7 in stolen base attempts against Soto this year. "He's using his upper body and arm and not using his legs and getting his body into [throws to second base]. He worked on it and was much improved," manager Lou Piniella tells the Chicago Sun-Times. We don't imagine the bad defense will cost Soto too much time, as the Cubs love his bat. |
| April 4, 2008 Geovany Soto drove in another two runs on Friday. He is only hitting .167 on the young season, but he has notched in RBI in three straight games. |
| March 26, 2008 Geovany Soto had a tough day at the plate against the Angels on Wednesday as he went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts, while stranding three men on base. His spring average dipped to .222 and the Cubs must be displeased with their projected starting catcher right now. |
