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

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jorge Soler (shoulder) was unavailable on Sunday due to a "shoulder thing," according to manager Bob Melvin. Soler was out of the starting lineup on Sunday, but the shoulder injury is a new development. It explains why the slugger wasn't used in the ninth inning with the Giants down one run. The injury doesn't sound like a major concern, but fantasy managers should check Soler's status before Monday's game and remove him from lineups if he isn't starting. With the Giants having seven games next week, including a weekend series against the Colorado Rockies, this would be an inopportune time for Soler to be hurt.

San Francisco Giants designated hitter Jorge Soler had a rough go Sunday in the 3-2 victory against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Soler couldn't connect at the plate, striking out all three times. He continues to struggle at the plate, hitting .171 (6-for-35) with four runs, three RBI, two homers, three walks, and 13 strikeouts in his last 10 games. He's slashing .216/.314/.402 with four doubles, 14 RBI, 14 runs, five homers, 14 walks, and 31 strikeouts in 29 games this season. Fantasy managers should continue to bench Soler until he can turn things around at the plate.

Free-agent outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler has signed a three-year, $42 million contract with the San Francisco Giants. It has been reported recently that Soler was in search of a three-year pact on the open market and he indeed gets it in the Bay Area. The 31-year-old is coming off a big season with the Marlins in which he swatted 36 home runs alongside an 11.4% BB% and an .853 OPS across 137 games. The veteran played just 241 2/3 innings in the outfield, however, as he's likely slated for everyday reps at DH with the Giants in 2024. Nonetheless, he should remain outfield-eligible in fantasy baseball, and considering ATC is projecting 30 more home runs and 76 RBI from the slugger in 2024, his 153.10 ADP is certainly warranted.

Free-agent outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler is still seeking a three-year deal in free agency. One of the top remaining bats left on the open market, Soler's potential suitors have diminished as the Blue Jays, D-backs, and Mariners have already acquired primary DH bats this offseason in Justin Turner, Joc Pederson, and Mitch Haniger, respectively. The 31-year-old is coming off a big season with the Marlins in 2023 as he hit .250 with 36 home runs and an .853 OPS across 137 games played. The 2019 AL home run champ (48) opted out of the final year of his contract with Miami and was ultimately not tendered a qualifying offer, therefore he is not attached to draft pick compensation on the open market.

The San Francisco Giants are in talks with free-agent outfielder Jorge Soler. The Cuban slugger is coming off a big season with the Marlins in 2023, hitting .250 with 36 home runs and an .853 OPS across 137 games. As a result, Soler opted out of the final season of his contract and became a free agent in early November. The 31-year-old led the American League with 48 home runs in the 2019 season, the only such season in which he surpassed his 36 long balls from the 2023 campaign. The Giants added international free agent outfielder Jung Hoo Lee this winter but Soler is likely being eyed as the club's primary designated hitter as infielder Wilmer Flores is currently projected to see the most reps at DH in 2024. Soler's big-time power makes him a solid fantasy asset on an annual basis.
