Jorge Soler DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jorge Soler (groin) was pulled from Wednesday's series finale at Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox with groin tightness, according to the team. Before being pulled, Soler singled and walked in two plate appearances. He was replaced in right field by Matthew Lugo. It's unclear how serious the 33-year-old right-handed slugger's hamstring injury is, but it's the same injury that he also dealt with earlier this year, so the Angels might prefer to put him on the shelf so it doesn't become a bigger issue. The Angels have been easing Mike Trout back into the fold at DH, so if Soler ends up missing significant time and Trout remains at DH, Chris Taylor and Lugo could split playing time in right field for the Halos. Soler entered Wednesday's game with a weak .213 average (44-for-207) with eight home runs, 24 RBI and 23 runs in 56 games in his first year with the Angels.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jorge Soler is absent from Tuesday's lineup against the Athletics. Logan O'Hoppe is getting the start as the designated hitter with Travis d'Arnaud behind the plate. Soler has been ice cold as of late, going 3-for-24 over the past week. Hopefully this day off will get him back on track, with the slugger up to six home runs so far on the year.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jorge Soler (groin) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. The right-handed slugger will miss his second game in a row after being scratched ahead of Friday's game due to what is being viewed as a minor groin issue. The organization is hopeful that Soler can return on Sunday, so fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. Matthew Lugo will cover left field while Taylor Ward is at designated hitter versus right-hander Kyle Gibson on Saturday. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Saturday for another update on Soler.
