Fri Mar 11 202209:49Jorge Soler Expected To Be A Hot Target
Free-agent outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler is expected to receive interest from a number of teams now that free agency talks have resumed. According to MLB.com's Mark Feinsand, Soler received interest from over six teams prior to the lockout. And now that the designated hitter spot is officially coming to the National League, the interest in Soler should only increase. Soler struggled out of the gate with the Kansas City Royals last year, but he provided a huge boost to the Atlanta Braves after joining the club in July. Over 55 regular season games with the Braves, he slashed .269/.358/.524 with 14 home runs and 33 RBI. He also of course raked in the postseason and went on to take home World Series MVP honors.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler will be the designated hitter for the World Series opener against the Houston Astros on Tuesday, according to MLB.com. He will also bat leadoff, something he did near the end of the regular season and the beginning of the playoffs. The Braves placed Soler on the COVID-19 injured list before Game 4 of the NLDS. He was activated on October 21 but didn't start the final two games of the league championship series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The slugging outfielder slashed .223/.316/.432 with 27 HRs in 2021. He turned a corner after joining the Braves midseason, posting a .882 OPS and 14 HRs in 55 games. Across 15 postseason plate appearances this year, he's batting just .154 with two doubles and a 33.3 K%. Expect Soler to continue getting reps at DH while playing in Houston.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler tested positive for COVID-19 and the team placed him on the COVID-19 injured list on Tuesday. He will now miss a minimum of five days, potentially more.

Soler had been the team's primary leadoff hitter for the past few weeks. Dansby Swanson is now slotting in as leadoff hitter for Game 4 on Tuesday while Joc Pederson is taking over Soler's usual right field post.

Fri Oct 1 202100:29Jorge Soler Helps Braves Secure Division Title
Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler has been an unlikely hero for this offense in the second half of the season. He has 13 home runs in 53 games since being traded at the deadline. On Thursday, Soler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run to begin Thursday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. He didn't do much at the plate after that, but helped them secure the 5-3 win and the NL East division title. The 29-year-old is an impending free agent and should find himself with a handful of suitors after his second half performance in Atlanta.

Wed Sep 29 202100:34Jorge Soler Knocks In Two Runs
Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler has looked like a completely different player at the plate since the trade from Kansas City. On Tuesday, he went 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI in the 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. This was an important game for both teams. Luckily, starter Charlie Morton was in ace mode and threw seven scoreless innings. The two runs from Soler were enough to get the win. Soler could be looking at a nice payday this offseason with the way he has been swinging the bat in the second half of the season.

Sun Sep 26 202111:40Jorge Soler Hits Game-Tying Blast
Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler has been putting on a show with his new team. On Saturday, he went 3-for-5 with a double, home run, and 3 RBI in the 10-8 win over the San Diego Padres. That home run was a huge three-run blast that tied the game in the sixth inning. Then, Soler hit an RBI-double in the 10th to help the Braves get the victory. Soler is slashing .221/.313/.428 with 25 long balls and 66 RBI this season. He has certainly increased his fantasy value during his time in Atlanta.

Wed Sep 22 202108:56Jorge Soler Leads Off In Second Straight Game
Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler batted leadoff for the second straight game on Tuesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the game. The 29-year-old veteran had been primarily hitting second in the order with Ozzie Albies leading off, but lately the team has gone with Soler at the top, followed by Freddie Freeman and Albies. Soler has been rejuvenated since joining the Braves at the trade deadline. Over 45 games with the team, he's slashing .272/.352/.520 with 11 home runs, 24 RBI and 28 runs. He should be rostered in just about all fantasy leagues while he continues to produce and hit out of a prime spot in a potent Braves lineup.

Sun Sep 19 202115:13Jorge Soler Sitting Sunday
Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler is taking a seat on the bench for Sunday's matchup against the San Francisco Giants, according to MLB.com. Soler is slashing .219/.312/.419 with 23 HRs, 59 RBI, and 64 runs over 136 games. Since being traded to the Braves, though, he's been a great fantasy asset, batting .272 with 10 HRs while slugging .512. Joc Pederson will get the start in right field and bat leadoff. Pederson is slashing .219/.289/.410 against righties this season, and with right-hander Anthony DeSclafani on the bump, fantasy managers can look elsewhere for an outfielder.

On Thursday, Soler went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a single in the 6-5 win over the Colorado Rockies. The 29-year-old has found new life in Atlanta. He is certainly worth a roster spot in basically all fantasy formats right now.

Wed Sep 1 202119:21Jorge Soler Gets Rest Day On Wednesday
Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. This appears to be a routine rest day for the slugging outfielder. Soler has been on fire since joining the Braves roster and should be rostered in basically all fantasy formats right now. Adam Duvall will cover right field and bat seventh versus righty Max Scherzer. It's never a smart idea to bet against Scherzer, so Duvall will be off the DFS radar for Wednesday.

Fantasy managers should check the waiver wire and make sure Soler isn't still sitting there. He should be started in most fantasy formats right now.

Sat Aug 21 202100:11Jorge Soler Slugs 17th Homer In Victory
Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler has somewhat improved with the bat since the trade in July. On Friday, Soler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run off lefty Keegan Akin in the third inning. A run that was fairly important in the 3-0 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. That home run marked Soler's 17th long ball of the season. Everyone is aware of Soler's incredible power. Sadly, he'll take a .202/.302/.390 slash line into his next game. Fantasy managers in need of a power bat should look towards Soler. Otherwise, he can be ignored in most formats.

Sun Aug 15 202119:35Jorge Soler Goes Hitless For Third Straight Game
Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler continued to struggle at the plate on Sunday, going 0-for-5 with a strikeout in a 6-5 win over the Nationals. It was his third straight game in which he was held hitless, as he's now slashing .115/.258/.154 with two runs scored over his last seven games. It's been a rough year overall for Soler, as he's slashing .198/.299/.379 with 16 homers, 43 RBI and 46 runs scored over 108 games between Kansas City and Atlanta. He'll provide enough value in deeper formats to remain rostered, but outside of that he can be left on the waiver wire.

Wed Aug 4 202112:09Jorge Soler Blast Two-Run Shot Against Cardinals
Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler was showing off his impressive power ability during Tuesday's win over the St. Louis Cardinals. He went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run off lefty Jon Lester in the first inning. The 29-year-old has 14 homers on the season, but seven of them have come after the All-Star break. His batting average is barely over the .200 mark, but Soler has some of the best rare power in the game. He can certainly help fantasy managers who are in need of a power bat.
