News: Soriano will have arthroscopic surgery Tuesday on his ailing left knee and miss the rest of the season, the team's official web site reports.
Analysis: The procedure will clean up Soriano's knee and he's expected to be ready for the start of spring training. Still, look for how he progresses this offseason.

News: Soriano is scheduled to meet with his own doctor for a second opinion on his knee and manager Lou Piniella classified Soriano's return this season as "doubtful," the Chicago Daily Herald reports.
Analysis: "He's going to go see his own doctor to get a second opinion on this thing," Piniella told the Daily Herald on Friday. "We'll probably know something in the next few days. I would categorize it as doubtful that he'd return. Doubtful. I would think that if he as the procedure done before the end of the year it would be just to clean it out a little bit." Unless the second opinion turns up some new information, Soriano shouldn't need any major surgery on his knee, just an arthroscopic procedure.
