Jorge Soler's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Atlanta Braves outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler (hamstring) is back in right field and is batting second against the division-rival Washington Nationals and left-hander MacKenzie Gore at Truist Park on Friday night. Soler is returning to the starting lineup after missing more than a week with a hamstring injury. Fantasy managers in need of power will want to get Soler back into their lineups this weekend. It's been a down year for the right-handed slugger, but he has gone 12-for-46 (.261) with four home runs and 11 RBI in his first 15 games back with Atlanta after being acquired from the San Francisco Giants at the trade deadline. Soler has a homer and two RBI in two career at-bats against Gore. He has hit .280 (28-for-100) on the year against lefties, but only with five of his 16 total home runs.

Atlanta Braves outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler (hamstring) ramped up his activities a bit with his running on Thursday, and barring a setback, he could return to the starting lineup on Friday in the series opener against the division-rival Washington Nationals at Truist Park. Soler has been out of the team's lineup since injuring his left hamstring last Wednesday, but the 32-year-old right-handed slugger should rejoin the lineup this weekend. The fact that he appeared as a pinch-hitter on Tuesday is a sign that the Braves feel confident he won't need a trip to the injured list. Ramon Laureano is starting in right field again on Thursday and is batting fifth in the series finale against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies and left-hander Cristopher Sanchez. Soler has hit .261 (12-for-46) with four home runs and 11 RBI in 15 games since being acquired in a trade with the San Francisco Giants at the deadline.

Atlanta Braves outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler (hamstring) has been running the bases and is hitting, but he remains out of Wednesday's starting lineup against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies at Truist Park. Soler remains day-to-day and is likely to return later this week, most likely for the series opener on Friday against the visiting division-rival Washington Nationals. The 32-year-old veteran right-handed slugger is missing his sixth straight game, but he sounds likely to avoid a trip to the injured list due to a strained left hamstring. Soler came in to pinch hit on Tuesday and drew a walk in the eighth inning before being lifted for a pinch-runner. Ramon Laureano is making another start in right field for Atlanta on Wednesday and is batting eighth against Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola. In the tough matchup, DFS managers should be looking to avoid Laureano.
