Soriano Refuses to Play OF

Alfonso Soriano refused to start in left field for the Washington Nationals for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. GM Jim Bowden said that Soriano will be given a second chance to play the outfield on Wednesday afternoon against the St. Louis Cardinals. If Soriano refuses, the team most likely will put him on the disqualified list without pay.
