"Outfielder Sam Fuld will replace disabled catcher Geovany Soto on the Cubs roster, at least until the All-Star break. Fuld, who was sent back to Class AAA Iowa this week, was pulled out of Friday night's game in Oklahoma City and sent to Chicago.
That means the Cubs will go with Koyie Hill as their primary catcher and Jake Fox as the backup, even though Fox has caught only two games in the minors this year. Hill probably will start both ends of Sunday's day-night doubleheader against the Cardinals, the last games before the three-day All-Star break."
The lineup:
Fukudome cf
Theriot ss
Lee 1b
Ramirez 3b
Soriano lf
Bradley rf
Baker 2b
Hill c
