The Chicago Tribune's Mark Gonzales added that Soler will "likely" be sidelined for more than 15 days, though the extent of the strain has not been disclosed.
Soler suffered the injury during Monday's 6-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies in the third inning while running out a single he hit down the left field line.

Chicago Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta got a taste of defeat Sunday for the first time in more than 10 months.
Thanks to the Cubs' 3-2 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks, the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner suffered his first loss since July 25, 2015, per Bob Nightengale of USA Today.

Arrieta remains undefeated on the year at 9-0, however. Clayton Richard was credited with the loss.
Entering Tuesday, Arrieta and the Cubs were tied for the longest win streak in major league history with Kris Medlen and the Atlanta Braves, who won 23 straight games in which he started from 2010 to 2012, per the Elias Sports Bureau (via ESPN Stats & Info).
