Availability
Jorge Soler went 1-for-5 with a bases clearing double in the top of the third inning as the Angels suffered a 9-7 loss in Houston on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Soler laced his three-run double off of Houston starter, Tatsuya Imai, who was making his major league debut. Soler later scored on an RBI single from Jo Adell. Soler is 3-for-16 (.188) with a double, a home run, and five runs driven in through four games.
Jorge Soler was on base four times Saturday as he drew three walks and belted a two-run homer in Los Angeles' 11-9 loss to Houston.
Fantasy Impact
Soler hit a two-run home run off of Houston starter, Cristian Javier, in the fourth inning for his first blast of the young season. The slugger is 2-for-11 with four walks in the first three games of the season. He hit 12 home runs in 82 games for the Angels last year and, if he can stay healthy, a return to 25-30 home runs is certainly within reach.
While Jorge Soler has been ramping up baseball activities at the Los Angeles Angels' spring training complex, he will not return this season.
Fantasy Impact
Soler has been on the injured list with low back inflammation since July 26. He played in just 82 games this season, posting a .215/.293/387 slash line. He is expected to be ready for the start of spring training.
The Los Angeles Angels transferred Jorge Soler to the 60-day injured list on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Soler is eligible to return during the final week of the season, but his availability is in question. Although he has started baseball activities, he's experienced some minor setbacks. With the Angels eight games out of a Wild Card spot as of Monday, the team may elect to hold him out for the remainder of the season.
Jorge Soler has begun limited baseball activities.
Fantasy Impact
While the specific baseball activities are unknown, it's a positive sign that Soler is back on the field as he continues to recover from low back inflammation. He is expected to return to the Angels before the end of the season, though there is no clear timeline for his return.
