Donovan Solano's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

According to the team, the Seattle Mariners have signed free agent infielder Donovan Solano to a one-year contract worth $3.5 million. The 37-year-old spent the entire 2024 campaign with the San Diego Padres and posted a solid .286/.343/.417 line. He hit eight home runs, 13 doubles, swiped two bags, and held a 22:65 BB:K ratio. Under the hood, he generated a .307 xwOBA and 37.4% hard-hit rate, suggesting he could be due for some regression in 2025. Solano performed very well against southpaws last season, posting a .302 AVG and .443 SLG, which was much higher than the .277 AVG and .403 SLG he posted against right-handed pitching. During the 2023 season, the 11-year MLB veteran posted a similar .282/.369/.391 line with five long balls. Fantasy managers should expect Solano to compete for an everyday role in the Seattle infield.

Making a rare start, San Diego Padres infielder Donovan Solano went 4-for-5 with four singles and four RBI in Tuesday's victory versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. Solano has not gotten much playing time as a bench bat, but he has been productive when called upon. On the season, the veteran is hitting .314 with four homers and 25 RBI in 185 at-bats. Although those numbers are respectable, his limited playing time makes him more valuable to the Padres than for fantasy managers. Unless an injury occurs, the versatile infielder can be left on the waiver wire for now.
