Yangervis Solarte News
The Miami Marlins signed free-agent infielder/outfielder Yangervis Solarte to a minor league deal on Friday night, according to a source. Solarte is expected to appear in extended spring training and will be assigned to Triple-A New Orleans after that. The 31-year-old hit just .205/.247/.315 with six extra-base hits and seven RBI in 78 plate appearances for the Giants this year before he was cut. The struggling Marlins could probably use a veteran player like Solarte who can fill in at multiple positions across the diamond, so we wouldn't be surprised to see him in Miami relatively soon. However, he won't come with much fantasy appeal and would probably only be useful in NL-only leagues.
The San Francisco Giants designated infielder/outfielder Yangervis Solarte for assignment on Tuesday. Second baseman Donovan Solano was among the players that were called up from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move. The switch-hitting Solarte was playing sporadically with the Giants and hit just .205/.247/.315 with a homer and seven RBI in 73 at-bats. He could latch on with or be traded to another team, but he's unlikely to be fantasy relevant. Solano hasn't had much success in the big leagues in the past and will probably just be a bench player in San Fran, limiting his fantasy appeal significantly.
San Francisco Giants infielder Yangervis Solarte ended up 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles, a run scored and an RBI in Saturday's 3-2 road win against the San Diego Padres, his former team. He is a decent fantasy option due to his positional versatility from an eligibility perspective, as well as his occasional pop. Solarte has hit 10 or more homers in each of the past five seasons. However, be careful, as he can hurt fantasy owners in the batting average department. He hit just .226 last season in Toronto.
