Miami Marlins outfielder Jorge Soler (thumb) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Kansas City Royals. The right-handed slugger apparently suffered a right thumb injury while taking his at-bat as a pinch-hitter during Sunday's contest. As a precaution, the Marlins are going to hold Soler out of this game. It sounds like a minor issue, so hopefully Soler will only miss a game or two from it. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on his status.

Miami Marlins outfielder Jorge Soler went 3-for-5 with a homer, two RBI, and two runs scored in Thursday's loss against the Colorado Rockies. The 31-year-old took Pierce Johnson deep in the ninth inning for his 15th long ball of the season. He has been on absolute fire lately, collecting a hit in seven of his last 10 games. Soler is slashing .267/.337/.560 with 15 home runs, 32 RBI, and 29 runs in 49 games. Fantasy managers should continue to start Soler while he's wielding a hot bat. Soler will look to keep things rolling when the Marlins begin their series against the Angels on Friday.

Miami Marlins outfielder Jorge Soler put on a show during Sunday's game versus the San Francisco Giants. The 31-year-old started off the game with a solo shot off lefty Alex Wood in the first inning. He stayed hot with an RBI single in the third and fifth inning. Soler finished the game 4-for-5 with a homer and three RBI in the 7-5 loss. The veteran outfielder has been heating up at the plate. He's slashing .247/.324/.518 with 12 homers and 27 RBI this season.

Miami Marlins designated hitter/outfielder Jorge Soler went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI to lift the team to a victory over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday. The 31-year-old is supplying a ton of pop lately, going 9-for-24 since May 4 with four big flies and 10 RBI across this span. Soler seems to have fallen through the cracks a bit in fantasy, but his OPS now stands at a noteworthy .826 after this effort. The veteran slugger also has a potent barrel rate of 18.2% this year and he consistently occupies a premium spot in the Marlins lineup, making Soler worthy of some attention for fantasy rosters seeking power stats.

Miami Marlins outfielder Jorge Soler hit second in the team's Grapefruit League game on Thursday against the Washington Nationals and went 2-for-3 with his first home run of the spring, and he could remain in the two-hole during the regular season. Soler mostly hit third last year for the Fish, but new manager Skip Schumaker wants some more power potential for the two spot, which the 31-year-old Soler can provide. Soler knows how to take his walks, but he also doesn't make enough consistent contact when he does swing the bat to be a batting average contributor for fantasy managers. The Cuban slugger hit 48 home runs with the Kansas City Royals in 2019, but he hasn't come close to that mark since and has also battled injuries. Power is about the only thing you're banking on with Soler, but even that has tailed off recently.

Miami Marlins designated hitter/outfielder Jorge Soler (back) was seen participating in outfield drills on Monday, per the Miami Herald's Jordan McPherson. This is encouraging for both the Marlins and fantasy managers, as Soler missed a large chunk of the 2022 season with pelvic and back issues. The 30-year-old slashed .207/.295/.400 with 13 home runs and 34 RBI in the 306 plate appearances he did have with the Marlins in 2022. Soler has mostly been valuable in fantasy for his power production, so health will be a key factor heading into the season. Soler's current draft position is about 302 overall, so his health is worth keeping an eye on as baseball activities progress through the spring.

Miami Marlins left fielder Jorge Soler will not opt out of his deal with the team, according to a source. He will now make $15 million with the Marlins in 2023 and can opt out again after next season or exercise his final player option for $9 million in 2024. It makes sense after Soler was limited to just 72 games in his first year in Miami due to injuries. When he was on the field, he hit just .207/.295/.400 with 13 home runs, 34 RBI, 32 runs scored and 90 strikeouts in 306 plate appearances. If the 30-year-old right-handed slugger bounces back with a strong season in 2023, he'll be much more likely to opt out next winter. Soler has big-time power, but he's a shaky boom/bust hitter with plenty of swing and miss in his game in an offensively challenged Marlins lineup.

Miami Marlins outfielder Jorge Soler (back) is unlikely to return before the end of the season, according to manager Don Mattingly. Soler recently completed baseball activities in Florida, including taking batting practice on the field on Aug. 29 and hitting in a simulated game on Sept. 3, had his rehab moved to Miami on Sept. 9. He last played in a major league game on July 22, when he was removed due to back stiffness. "Soli's kind of been a little bit 'feel 100 percent, feel 100 percent, feel a little something, feel 100 percent, feel 100 percent, feels a little something,'" Mattingly said. "It seems like [a return this season] is probably out the window, too." The 30-year-old Cuban slugger has hit just .207/.295/.400 with 13 homers, 34 RBI and 32 runs scored in 270 at-bats for Miami this season. He can be dropped in redraft leagues.

Miami Marlins outfielder Jorge Soler (back) was removed from Friday's game early against the Pittsburgh Pirates when his back stiffened up, according to manager Don Mattingly. "We'll get some testing done and see where we're at," Mattingly said. Soler went 1-for-3 with a run scored and a strikeout before leaving the game. For now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day, but don't be surprised if he's not in the starting lineup on Saturday. If Soler is forced to miss time or go on the injured list, Bryan De La Cruz would likely be the primary beneficiary of extra playing time. Soler is hitting just .207 on the year with a .295 on-base percentage, but he does have 13 home runs and 34 RBI in 270 at-bats.

Miami Marlins outfielder Jorge Soler (pelvis) is set to begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Pensacola on Tuesday. The 30-year-old has been out since late June due to bilateral pelvis inflammation. If he can avoid any setbacks, there's a good chance he'll be returning to the majors prior to the All-Star break. Soler has appeared in 67 games so far this year and he's slashed .217/.306/.421 with 13 home runs, 34 RBI and 31 runs.

Miami Marlins outfielder Jorge Soler (pelvis) is rehabbing with core and mobility training in Florida after being placed on the 10-day injured list with bilateral pelvis inflammation. According to skipper Don Mattingly, Soler received an injection. "I think Jorge was trying to get through this back pain," Mattingly said prior to the July 1 game in Washington. "One day good, couple days bad, one at-bat good, some bad. It was getting to the point where he really couldn't do the work that he needed to do to be sharp. So, we had to get rid of it." It sounds like the Marlins are taking it slow with the 30-year-old, so there's a chance he won't return until after the All-Star break. Bryan De La Cruz will continue to play regularly with Soler on the shelf. Soler has 13 home runs, but he's also hitting just .217 with a .306 on-base percentage this year.

The Miami Marlins are placing outfielder Jorge Soler (back) on the injured list on Friday before the series opener against the Washington Nationals. Soler was a late scratch from the starting lineup on Wednesday in the series finale against the St. Louis Cardinals with back discomfort. It could be a short stay on the injured list for Soler, but we'll have to wait and see. He finished the month of June hitting .220/.301/.341 with two home runs, nine RBI and 33 strikeouts in 24 games, and he's sporting a season slash line of .217/.306/.421 with 13 long balls, 34 RBI and 31 runs scored in 289 plate appearances. The 30-year-old's swing-and-miss tendencies won't do your team batting average any favors, but he still has plenty of power to spare.

Miami Marlins outfielder Jorge Soler is getting the day off on Thursday as the team takes on right-hander Stephen Strasburg and the Washington Nationals. Bryan De La Cruz will be covering Soler's usual left field post for the game. Soler came through with multi-hit games in each of his last two outings. On Tuesday, he blasted his 12th home run of the season. Across 51 games on the year, he has a .228/.323/.472 slash line to go along with 29 RBI and 26 runs.

Miami Marlins outfielder Jorge Soler is absent from the starting lineup for Sunday's game against right-hander Ian Anderson and the Atlanta Braves. Garrett Cooper will be slotting in as designated hitter for the game. Soler has been heating up at the plate lately. He's currently riding a nine-game hitting streak and he's gone yard in three of his last five games, tallying seven RBI over that five-game stretch. Soler is a streaky hitter, but he has the ability to single-handedly carry fantasy managers in the power department when he's hot.

Miami Marlins outfielder Jorge Soler (back) is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against right-hander Charlie Morton and the Atlanta Braves. Soler was sidelined for each of the team's last two games due to back stiffness. He will be playing designated hitter and batting third in Friday's game while Garrett Cooper will be heading to the bench. Soler was starting to heat up before his back stiffened up. Prior to the injury, he had homered in two of three games and he was in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak that he will look to continue on Friday.

Miami Marlins outfielder Jorge Soler launched a grand slam to cap off his club's 8-0 win over the Padres on Saturday night. His 405' shot to left field in the top of the ninth was his first slam of his career, and fourth long ball of the year, as he also added a double to finish the game going 2-for-5. Soler has had a slow start to his debut season with the Marlins by hitting just .178 with eight runs and 12 RBI through 27 games, but he's beginning to pick up some steam at the dish. The power has always been there for the 30-year-old, it's just a matter of how much of a hit his batting average will take to provide the counting numbers.

Miami Marlins outfielder Jorge Soler is not in the starting lineup for his team's Friday night game against the San Diego Padres. Soler will get the night off as his club gears up to kick off a weekend series in San Diego. The Marlins will roll out Jon Berti in left field in place of Soler. Soler is hitting just .167 with three homers, eight RBI, and seven runs through 96 at-bats. The 30-year-old slugger should presumably be back in the lineup on Saturday.

Miami Marlins outfielder Jorge Soler is batting leadoff in the team's season opener against Logan Webb and the San Francisco Giants on Friday. This will be the Marlins debut for Soler, who signed a three-year deal with the team in March. Soler had an up-and-down season in 2021, but he capped it with a World Series MVP honor. Even though he batted just .223/.316/.432 throughout the 2021 season, he had some elite peripheral power stats, including a 117.9 mph max exit velocity that ranked in the 99th percentile. Unfortunately Soler has a rough track record against Friday's starter, Logan Webb, as he's gone 0-for-6 with five strikeouts against him over his career.

Free-agent outfielder Jorge Soler agreed to a three-year, $36 million deal with the Miami Marlins on Saturday, according to a source. Soler has opt-outs after both this year and next season. The 30-year-old Cuban slugger was with the Kansas City Royals and Atlanta Braves last year, and he was a key offensive piece that helped carry the Braves to a World Series title last fall. In 602 combined plate appearances with KC and Atlanta, he hit .223/.316/.432 with 27 home runs, 70 RBI and 74 runs scored in the regular season. With the Braves, Soler batted .269 with 14 home runs and 33 RBI in 55 games. Soler brings elite power -- he led the league in long balls with 48 in 2019 -- but he swings and misses too much to be a reliable batting average contribute. He'll fill a much-needed outfield/designated hitter role in Miami and should hit in the heart of the order.

The Atlanta Braves and San Diego Padres are in talks with free-agent outfielder Jorge Soler, according to a trusted source. The Braves already re-signed postseason hero Eddie Rosario, and Soler could be next to help replace some of the power that was lost when first baseman Freddie Freeman signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Soler, 30, started last year with the Kansas City Royals before joining the Braves for 55 regular season games. In 149 games in 2021, the right-handed slugger slashed .223/.316/.432 with 27 home runs and 70 RBI in 602 plate appearances. He was much better with Atlanta, hitting .269 with 14 homers and 33 RBI. Soler has elite power -- he had a career-high 48 long balls in 2019 -- but he swings and misses too much to provide a reliable batting average in fantasy.
