Eligibility
The Rangers optioned Nick Solak to Triple-A on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Texas needed to make room for Mitch Garver, who was activated from the 10-day IL, but it was surprising to see Solak optioned to the minors. The 27-year-old was struggling, slashing just .209/.293/.313, but he was coming off an 11-homer, seven-steal year. Even if he eventually returns to the big club, there's no reason to stash Solak given his limited upside, as there are better ways to occupy a bench spot.
Nick Solak went 1-for-3 with two RBIs, one run and one strikeout on Thursday against the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact
Solak capped off a four-run fifth inning for the Rangers with a two-run long ball off Seattle starter Marco Gonzales for his second home run of the season.
Rangers left fielder Nick Solak went 2-for-5 Sunday in the Rangers' 8-3 loss to the Angels.
Fantasy Impact
Solak has picked up multiple hits in two of his last three games for the Rangers. The slugger is hitting .316 in 19 at-bats early on this season.
Nick Solak went 2-for-3 with one RBI, four runs and two walks on Sunday against the Blue Jays.
Fantasy Impact
Solak got Texas on the board with a solo home run in the second inning. He reached base three more times on a single and two walks, scoring in all three of those instances as well.
Nick Solak is getting reps at third base in spring training.
Fantasy Impact
The Rangers need a third baseman after trading Isiah Kiner-Falefa and losing Josh Jung to injury. Nick Solak could fit that bill. He plated second base exclusively last season, but the signings of Corey Seager and Marcus Semien left him without a spot. Solak did play 11 games at third in 2019. Solak started 2021 hot at the plate, hitting .293 with seven home runs in April before tailing off hard. He did finish the season on a high note and could be a solid late-round target in drafts.
