    Chicago Cubs prospect Jorge Soler was ejected from his Class A team's game Wednesday night after approaching the opposing team's dugout wielding a bat following an earlier confrontation on the field.

    According to the Daytona Beach News Journal, Soler -- the 21-year-old Cuban whom the Cubs signed to a nine-year, $30 million deal last year -- slid into second base during the seventh inning of the Florida State League game and had words with an opposing player for the Clearwater Threshers in Daytona Beach, Fla.

    Players from both the Threshers and Soler's Daytona Cubs came out to separate the two, and the sides returned to their dugouts. But according to the News Journal, the 6-foot-4, 215-pound Soler sprinted back out -- with bat in hand -- toward the Threshers' side.

    Soler was caught by Cubs teammates before he made it to the opposing dugout and never swung the bat, according to the News Journal.

    The incident still gave a brief scare to the Threshers.
