Donovan Solano Stats

Minnesota Twins infielder Donovan Solano (knee) is once again not in the lineup on Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Donnie Barrels will miss his fourth straight contest after exiting Tuesday's contest early with a right knee sprain. It's unclear if he'll need an IL stint or not at this point but it seems clear that the Twins are hoping he can avoid that scenario with some off days. The veteran infielder is slashing .278/.377/.402 with four home runs and 25 RBI over 310 plate appearances on the season. Rookie Edouard Julien is serving as the Twins' DH on Saturday while veteran Jorge Polanco is covering second base against Taijuan Walker and the Phillies.

Minnesota Twins infielder Donovan Solano's (knee) MRI exam showed that he has a mild MCL sprain in his right knee after getting injured in Tuesday's game. Nothing showed up on his ankle, but he remains sore on Wednesday and is not in the starting lineup against the Detroit Tigers. It's unknown how long Solano will be out, but the team doesn't view it as a long-term injury. It doesn't mean that the 35-year-old won't go on the injured list, but he should at least be back this season. He's considered day-to-day for the time being while the team waits for the swelling in his knee to subside. Solano is a much better real-life player than a fantasy one. He's currently hitting .278/.377/.402 with only four homers, 25 RBI and 30 runs scored in Minnesota.

Minnesota Twins infielder Donovan Solano (knee) left Tuesday's game early against the Detroit Tigers with a right-knee sprain. Before leaving, Solano went 1-for-2 with a strikeout to raise his season average to .278. He was replaced at first base by Joey Gallo. The 35-year-old Solano should be considered day-to-day for now, but this is the type of injury that could easily require an injured-list stint. Solano isn't much to look at for fantasy purposes, though, as he came into Tuesday's affair hitting .277/.377/.402 with only four home runs, 25 RBI, no stolen bases and 30 runs scored in 264 at-bats over 99 games in 2023 for the Twins.
