Jorge Soler to Continue Testing for Lower-Back Inflammation
Los Angeles Angels manager Ray Montgomery said Monday that outfielder Jorge Soler (back) will continue to receive testing after being placed on the injured list for lower back inflammation. This is the 33-year-old's second stint on the IL this season due to back issues. Montgomery said that Soler does not have a timetable for his return, but he is staying optimistic that he will return at some point this season. Soler is running out of time to return and have a fantasy impact. He was in the midst of a down offensive season before going on the IL, slashing .215/.293/.387 with 12 home runs and 34 RBI in 315 plate appearances. 26-year-old Bryce Teodosio should continue to see playing time in Soler's absence. Teodosio showed high batting average, power, and speed skills in his time with Triple-A Salt Lake, so he could be worth a look in deep five-outfielder leagues.
