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

Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler is being traded to the Los Angeles Angels in exchange right-hander Griffin Canning according to Jeff Passan of ESPN. Last season with both the Giants and Braves, Soler held a .241/.338/.442 line with 21 home runs, 64 RBI with a 68:141 BB:K ratio. Canning held an underwhelming 5.19 ERA, 1.40 WHIP with a 66:130 BB:K ratio across 171 2/3 innings of work. Soler should be expected to have a spot in the Opening Day lineup either serving as an outfielder or the designated hitter. Canning will likely compete for a spot in a crowded Atlanta rotation that will welcome back ace Spencer Strider who missed most of the 2024 season due to UCL damage in his throwing elbow.

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.

Atlanta Braves outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler (hamstring) is still sidelined for the Braves on Tuesday against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies at Truist Park. Ramon Laureano is starting in right field for Atlanta and is batting in the two-hole versus Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler. Soler suffered a strained left hamstring last Wednesday and will now sit out his fifth straight game as a result. If the 32-year-old veteran right-handed slugger isn't able to get back in Atlanta's starting lineup by the end of the week, he could require a trip to the 10-day injured list. Soler was a disappointment with the San Francisco Giants earlier this year before being traded to Atlanta, where he's gone 12-for-45 (.267) with four home runs and 11 RBI in 13 games since the end of July. Laureano is in an interesting lineup spot on Tuesday, but he's also in a shy-away matchup against Wheeler. He's hitting .224/.296/.410 on the year with seven homers and four stolen bases.UPDATE: Soler thinks he'll be ready by Friday.
