Jorge Soler Fantasy Stats

The Los Angeles Angels designated outfielder Jorge Soler for assignment on Tuesday, according to Francys Romero. The Angels traded away a handful of players by Monday's deadline, but they couldn't find any takers for Soler, who is hitting .203/.291/.373 with a .664 OPS, 12 home runs, 49 RBI, and 36 runs scored with a 32.7% strikeout rate in his 13th major-league season in 2026. The 34-year-old Cuban slugger should find a taker on waivers for his power stroke from the right side of the plate, but he won't be much more than a deep-league flier off the waiver wire for fantasy managers who are desperate for power if he latches on with a new team and sees regular playing time. With Soler now out of the picture in Anaheim, catcher Moises Ballesteros, who was acquired from the Chicago Cubs on Monday in the Ryan Zeferjahn trade, figures to operate as the Angels' primary designated hitter for the rest of the season. After hitting 11 first-half homers, Soler has gone 7-for-45 (.156) with one homer, four walks, and 22 strikeouts in 12 games since the mid-July All-Star break. He is now rostered in under 10% of Yahoo leagues.

The Los Angeles Angels announced on Monday that they reinstated outfielder Jorge Soler (oblique) from the 10-day injured list and designated infielder Nick Madrigal for assignment in a corresponding move. Infielder Trey Mancini was also outrighted to Triple-A Reno, but he elected free agency. Soler is serving as the designated hitter and will bat third for the Halos in his return on Monday in the series opener against the visiting Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Kyle Bradish. Soler has been out since June 6 with a strained left oblique, and he didn't go on a minor-league rehab assignment, so fantasy managers may want to expect the right-handed slugger to be knocking off quite a bit of rust. The 34-year-old Cuban outfielder already swings and misses often, but with nine home runs in 214 at-bats before his injury, he can also still provide useful power for managers searching for pop on the waiver wire. With that said, RBI opportunities might be few and far between for Soler on one of the worst teams in baseball. He's rostered in only 15% of Yahoo leagues.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jorge Soler (oblique) took batting practice on the field on Saturday and is nearing a minor-league rehab assignment, according to Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com. With the 34-year-old right-handed slugger getting closer to playing in games, he should be able to rejoin the Halos before the mid-July All-Star break, barring a setback. Soler has been on the 10-day injured list with a strained left oblique muscle since June 6. The Cuban outfielder has also dealt with a groin injury in 2026, and he will return to a .220/.300/.402 slash line, .702 OPS, nine home runs, 33 RBI, 28 runs scored, and 31.3% strikeout rate in 243 plate appearances this year. In 27 games (110 plate appearances) in May, Soler really struggled, going 19-for-101 (.188) with three home runs, four doubles, eight RBI, 11 runs scored, eight walks, and 35 strikeouts. Soler has a tendency to run hot and cold, and while he can still provide some decent pop from the right side of the plate, he's a killer for a fantasy team's batting average and on-base percentage because of his inability to make consistent contact. He's rostered in only 15% of Yahoo leagues right now and plays on one of the worst teams in baseball.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jorge Soler (oblique) did some running on the field and participated in light baseball activities on Friday. Soler was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier this month due to a left oblique strain. While it's a positive sign that Soler is back to baseball activities in some capacity, oblique strains generally take longer than the 10-day minimum for players to return. Before the injury, the 34-year-old hit .220/.300/.402 with nine home runs, 33 RBI, and 28 runs scored. With a 31.3% strikeout rate, Soler is likely to be a drain on the batting average category for fantasy managers. However, the veteran slugger has posted a double-digit barrel rate in every season since 2017 and remains a viable power bat when healthy. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues may want to consider stashing him off the waiver wire as he gets closer to a return.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jorge Soler (oblique) was placed on the 10-day Injured List ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Soler was scratched ahead of Friday's game and now will land on the shelf due to an oblique issue. The timetable for Soler's return is unclear right now, but oblique issues can sometimes be tricky. It wouldn't be shocking to see Soler miss a few weeks, but his status should be updated shortly. In the meantime, Nolan Schanuel has been activated from the Injured List. He'll cover first base with Nick Madrigal serving as the designated hitter on Saturday.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jorge Soler (hip) ended up being scratched from the starting lineup for Friday night's series opener against the hosting Los Angeles Dodgers due to ongoing hip tightness, according to the team. Soler was pulled from Wednesday's game against the Colorado Rockies early with a hip injury, but he was initially in the starting lineup on Friday after a scheduled day off for the Halos on Thursday. The 34-year-old right-handed slugger isn't fully over the injury, but he could be back for Game 2 of the Freeway Series on Saturday. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. With Soler sitting again at Dodger Stadium, second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier replaced him as the team's designated hitter. The Cuban veteran swings and misses often and won't help much with batting average or on-base percentage, but he can help with power when he's in a groove at the plate. On the year through 58 games played, Soler has hit just .220 (47-for-214) with nine homers, 33 RBI, and 28 runs scored over his 243 plate appearances. He's only rostered in 25% of Yahoo leagues.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jorge Soler (hip) is serving as the team's designated hitter and is batting cleanup for the Angels in Friday's series opener in the Freeway Series against the hosting Los Angeles Dodgers and right-hander Roki Sasaki, according to MLB.com. Soler was pulled early from Wednesday's game against the Colorado Rockies as a precaution with a left-hip injury, but he's back in there as the DH after the team had a scheduled day off on Thursday. The 34-year-old Cuban veteran slugger is batting just .220 (47-for-214) on the season with nine home runs, 33 RBI, and 28 runs scored in 58 games across 243 plate appearances. Soler remains an asset for power and run production in deeper leagues, but he will continue to be a drag on your on-base percentage and batting average. In 14 games since May 19, Soler is hitting .236 (13-for-55) with a homer, double, triple, five RBI, and seven runs scored across his 58 plate appearances. He has gone hitless in just three career at-bats against Sasaki.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jorge Soler (hip) left Wednesday's game early against the visiting Colorado Rockies in Anaheim with left-hip irritation, according to the team. Before departing early in the fifth inning, Soler went 0-for-2 at the plate with a walk and two strikeouts to drop his season average to .220 and his OPS to .702. He was replaced in right field and in the leadoff spot by Jo Adell. In a blowout, it's possible that the Angels removed Soler early for precautionary reasons, but we should know more about the severity of his hip injury by Thursday. With an off day coming on Thursday, the Cuban slugger could be back in the Angels' starting lineup for the start of another Freeway Series on Friday on the road against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Soler came into Wednesday's tilt with Colorado with a .217 average (13-for-60) with just one homer, five RBI, two walks, and 16 strikeouts in his last 15 games, dating back to May 17. He still has notable power, but 30.8% strikeout rate and low on-base percentage are major drawbacks.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jorge Soler (groin) recently said that he can run at 60-70% right now due to a nagging groin injury, but manager Kurt Suzuki shrugged at the suggestion that the right-handed slugger needs time off, according to Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. "He just had a day off," Suzuki said. "We had a team day off (on Monday). He's swinging the bat fine. He's looking good. And he's in the lineup." Soler said the soreness started "a few days ago," but Suzuki said it's just something normal that players go through over the course of a long season. The 34-year-old, who is hitting .215/.298/.403 with a .701 OPS in 191 at-bats in 2026, was last out of the lineup on May 21. Despite not being 100%, he has exactly one hit in each of his last seven games he's started, but that has included just one extra-base hit. It doesn't appear that the Cuban outfielder is in danger of landing on the injured list, but fantasy managers can't really do much with Soler unless he's hitting for power. He has nine home runs, 30 RBI, and 25 runs scored on the year for the last-place Halos.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jorge Soler had five home runs and hit .253 (20-for-79) in 22 games (93 plate appearances) in April, but he has gone a bit quiet in May and is now hitting .221 (32-for-145) overall with eight long balls, 28 RBI, and 20 runs scored in 40 games in his 13th season in the majors. In 12 games so far in May, Soler has gone 8-for-43 (.186), and he hasn't gone deep at the plate since May 5. The rough patch of late has dropped his OPS on the year to .752, and his on-base percentage is down to .318. Soler's xwOBA sits at .318, and his expected slugging percentage is at .404 (currently .434). Soler is never going to be an asset for your fantasy teams' batting average, as he currently sits in the fifth percentile in strikeout rate, and he's in just the 65th percentile in hard-hit rate through a month and a half of the 2026 season. The Cuban outfielder can still be an asset for fantasy managers who are desperate for power, but he's extremely volatile and will kill your average. It's why he's still rostered in less than half of Yahoo leagues.
