Jorge Soler Returns to Running, Light Baseball Activities
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jorge Soler (oblique) did some running on the field and participated in light baseball activities on Friday. Soler was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier this month due to a left oblique strain. While it's a positive sign that Soler is back to baseball activities in some capacity, oblique strains generally take longer than the 10-day minimum for players to return. Before the injury, the 34-year-old hit .220/.300/.402 with nine home runs, 33 RBI, and 28 runs scored. With a 31.3% strikeout rate, Soler is likely to be a drain on the batting average category for fantasy managers. However, the veteran slugger has posted a double-digit barrel rate in every season since 2017 and remains a viable power bat when healthy. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues may want to consider stashing him off the waiver wire as he gets closer to a return.
