Donovan Solano Could See Time As Designated Hitter
According to Adam Jude of the Seattle Times, Mariners infielder Donovan Solano could see time as a designated hitter and occasionally at the hot corner during the 2025 season. The Mariners signed Solano in the winter to a one-year $3.5 million contract. He was expected to be used primarily at first base on the short side of a platoon with Luke Raley. However, given his strong play last season, the Mariners may look to keep his bat in the lineup more often. If he were to see time at DH, this could limit Mitch Garver's or Mitch Haniger's opportunities. If he were to shift to the hot corner, this could push Jorge Polanco down the depth chart. Last season in San Diego, the 37-year-old posted a .286/.343/.417 slash line with eight home runs and two stolen bases. For now, he should only be targeted in deeper formats, but could find value in standard leagues if he were to earn an everyday spot in the starting nine.
