Fantasy Analysis
Soto's injury is another tough blow to his sluggish start to the season as he has produced a lowly .161 batting average with three home runs and just six RBI. The 29-year-old's average has not reached the Mendoza Line since the fifth game of the season on April 10 as his offense continues to plummet in recent years. At this stage of the season, Soto is only worth stashing in NL-only formats as his stock is extremely low right now. (Updated 05/19/2012).

05/13/2012 20:18 Hit Parade for Week 7
As interleague play gets under way there are many matchups to break down. Our Scott White tells you who the best bets and biggest risks are in his Hit Parade for Week 7.
After a bounce-back campaign in 2010, Geovany Soto struggled to hit for average a season ago and struck out more times than he had in his career. A groin injury cost him some time in the first half in which he batted just .228 with eight home runs and 23 RBI before the All-Star break. He compiled just a .228 average down the stretch and finished the year with 17 home runs and 54 RBI. While his power numbers did not change much, he struck out a career-high 124 times and got on base at just a .310 clip. With Aramis Ramirez and Carlos Pena no longer in Chicago, the Cubs will be counting Soto for power this season, so hopefully he will be able to return to 20-plus homers for the first time since 2008. The 29-year-old has the offensive potential to be a top contributor in Fantasy and while his recent struggles have hindered him a bit, consider Soto a Top 15 catcher on Draft Day. (Updated 2/8/12)
