Said Soto in a statement released to the media: “While I fully acknowledge my inappropriate behavior, I want to assure my fans and my family that this was an isolated incident. I do not say this to minimize or deflect from my conduct and I fully understand the ramifications of my actions. I have and will accept any and all consequences.”

So far in 2009, Soto has been in a bit of a sophomore slump. He’s hitting just .227 with six homers and 21 RBIs. That said, he’s starting to hit better in June. In fact, he has five of his six homers in this month.

It’s unknown whether the 26-year-old native of San Juan, Puerto Rico will face any disciplinary action from Major League Baseball and commissioner Bud Selig.
