Soriano picking up his power: Cubs outfielder Alfonso Soriano entered Tuesday's game against the Astros having hit three home runs in his last seven games.

Fantasy Analysis
Soriano has all four of his home runs since mid-May as the move to a lighter bat seems to be paying off. He has also raised his average from .250 to .264 during his current hot stretch and has seen his slugging percentage grow from .302 to .403. The 36-year-old is beginning to look like a viable option in Fantasy once again so consider adding Soriano in deeper mixed leagues as he could be on the verge of breaking out. (Updated 05/23/2012).

John Danks pitched shutout ball into the seventh for his first win in nearly a month and Dayan Viciedo, A.J. Pierzynski and Adam Dunn homered as the Chicago White Sox beat the Cubs 7-4 on Saturday night.
Alfonso Soriano was able to pick up his power and run production for the Cubs a year ago but he continued to struggle to hit for average. A quad injury landed him on the DL in late May and he batted .265 with 14 home runs and 41 RBI in the first half. He hit just .219 after the break but supplied 12 homers and 47 RBI, giving him 26 long balls and 88 RBI on the year. His RBI total was his most since coming to Chicago in 2007 but his .244 averaged marked the second time in the previous three years that he batted under .250. The Cubs would love to unload his contract but with no takers, he will continue to see the majority of the playing time in left field in 2012. While the 36-year-old still holds value in Fantasy for his power, his speed is all but gone and his .305 on-base percentage over the last three years has not done owners any favors. Soriano should be considered a late-round selection on Draft Day. (Updated 1/30/12)
