Solis joined the Dodgers on a minor league deal last month and was invite to attend major league camp for spring training, but his future with the club is uncertain in light of this news.

Solis made it to the big leagues this season, but only appeared in eight games and failed to record a hit in six at bats. He also struggled in the minors, hitting just .203/.231/.283 for Triple-A Durham in 2014, so it seems unlikely that he'll crack a major league roster in 2015. | ||||||

Ali Solis returned to action on Monday, though he got just one at-bat before being removed for a pinch-hitter. | ||||||
That was probably the plan going in with three on the roster: pinch-hit for the catcher whenever it made sense. Solis was returning tonight after taking a wild pitch off his nose while in the batter's box Saturday. | ||||||
