Jorge Soler Fantasy Stats

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.

Across 157 plate appearances so far in 2026, Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jorge Soler is hitting .226/.325/.451 with eight home runs, 28 RBI, and 19 runs scored. With a 31.2% strikeout rate, Soler is unlikely to help fantasy managers in the batting average category. However, the 34-year-old remains a legitimate power bat even as he enters his mid-30s. Soler currently owns a 12.9% barrel rate, marking his eighth consecutive season with a barrel rate north of 12%. He's also managed to stay healthy this season after groin and back injuries limited him to just 315 plate appearances in 2025. As long as Soler can stay on the field in 2026, he should see every day playing time in the middle of the Angels lineup and could threaten 30 home runs. For fantasy managers searching for power on the waiver wire, Soler could be worth targeting.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jorge Soler is only rostered in 49% of Yahoo leagues right now. Fantasy managers in need of power should definitely give him a look. The 34-year-old power hitter is never going to be an asset in batting average -- he's currently hitting .238 (29-for-122) -- but he's also sporting an .818 OPS with eight long balls, a team-high 28 RBI, and 19 runs scored in his first 34 games for the Halos. Since April 24 (a span of 12 games), Soler has gone 12-for-43 (.279) with three home runs, two doubles, nine RBI, and six runs scored with a 13:6 K:BB. Additionally, he has a strong .373 on-base percentage and .535 slugging percentage during this span. Soler has struggled to stay healthy during his career and tends to be streaky, but right now, he's been pretty consistent, and he deserves to be rostered in more than half of fantasy baseball leagues. If you need power, look no further than Soler.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler is never going to be an asset in the batting average department for fantasy managers, but the 6-foot-3, 235-pound Cuban slugger can definitely help in the power department if you need it. The 34-year-old veteran right-handed hitter is available in under 50% of Yahoo leagues at the moment, too. In his second year in Anaheim, Soler is hitting .215/.326/.443 with a .769 OPS, five home runs, 19 RBI, and 13 runs scored in 95 plate appearances across 22 games played. He's gone hitless in his last two games and has gone 5-for-22 with a homer, double, and three RBI in his last six games played, dating back to April 13, before he began serving a four-game suspension for a brawl with Braves pitcher Reynaldo Lopez. In the early portion of the season, Soler is unsurprisingly in the sixth percentile in strikeout rate, but he's in the 51st percentile in expected slugging percentage and in the 60th percentile in hard-hit rate. If Soler can stay healthy all year, he's a candidate to approach the 30-homer mark because of his raw power from the right side.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jorge Soler is off to a strong start to the season in the power department. Through 18 games, Soler is slashing .231/.342/.508 with five home runs and a league-leading 18 RBI. The All-Star slugger is currently serving a four-game suspension, but will be back in the mix soon. With that being said, now might be the best time to grab Soler before he returns to the field and continues tearing the cover off the ball. The veteran slugger isn't going to hit for average, and he's going to strike out a ton. The 34-year-old has crushed over 200 career homers and is looking like a sneaky add for fantasy managers seeking power right now.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jorge Soler's suspension by Major League Baseball has been reduced to four games, according to Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com. Soler will start serving his four-game suspension on Wednesday night against the Atlanta Braves, and it will run through Sunday's series finale against the San Diego Padres. The league initially gave Soler a seven-game suspension for his role in a fight when the team faced the Braves last week. Fantasy managers must make sure to remove Soler from their lineups for the rest of the week. Through his first 65 at-bats with the Angels in 2026, Soler is hitting .231 (15-for-65) with five home runs, a league-high 18 RBI, and 13 runs scored in 18 games played. The 34-year-old Cuban slugger will probably never help fantasy managers in batting average, but his power remains intriguing when he's clicking.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler recently went on a stretch where he blasted a home run in three consecutive games, which was also part of a longer six-game hit streak, putting himself back on the fantasy radar. A couple of games in which he's gone 0-for-7 since then have surely left a sour taste in the mouths of fantasy managers who snapped him up off the waiver wire, but this is what you can expect from a player who owns a career barrel rate of 13.1 percent with only a 70.7 percent contact rate. Looking at career rates, though, the right-handed slugger is typically a slow starter, so perhaps now is the time to exercise patience, as the former All-Star holds a career slash line of .228/.312/.421 and wRC+ of 98 in the first half compared to .265/.360/.532 and 137 wRC+ in the second half. For now, interested managers can scoop the 34-year-old up in over 60 percent of Yahoo! leagues; just know that the potential power production could come at the expense of batting average, at least in the near term until he gets rolling.

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Jorge Soler has been suspended for seven games for brawling with Atlanta Braves right-hander Reynaldo Lopez on Tuesday night, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN. Soler took exception to a pitch up and in from Lopez in the fifth inning and charged the mound before throwing punches in a benches-clearing brawl. Until Soler's appeal is heard by the league, he'll be eligible to play for the Angels, including in Wednesday's contest against Atlanta at Angels Stadium. The 32-year-old veteran right-handed power hitter is slated to start in right field and bat cleanup for the Halos in Wednesday's series finale against Braves right-hander Grant Holmes. To begin his second season in Anaheim, Soler heads into Wednesday's action sporting a .220 average (9-for-41) with two home runs, 10 RBI, and seven runs scored in 12 games played. Keep Soler in your starting lineups for now until his suspension kicks in.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jorge Soler (back) will not return from the 60-day injured list for the team's season-ending series against the Houston Astros this weekend. Soler has been out since July 24 with inflammation in his lower back. Although the 33-year-old ramped up baseball activities earlier this month, time has run out on a potential 2025 comeback. Soler has been on the injured list twice this year with back problems, limiting him to 82 games. The former All-Star took 315 trips to the plate this season and batted an underwhelming .215/.293/.387 with 12 HRs and 34 RBI. He's in line to return to the Angels in 2026 in the last season of a three-year, $42 million contract. Soler signed that deal with the San Francisco Giants heading into 2024, but he has changed hands twice since then. The Atlanta Braves traded Soler to the Angels last October. The first season of the Soler-Angels union didn't go according to plan for him or the team.
