Jorge Soler Leaves Early With Groin Tightness
Jorge Soler (groin) was pulled from Wednesday's series finale at Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox with groin tightness, according to the team. Before being pulled, Soler singled and walked in two plate appearances. He was replaced in right field by Matthew Lugo. It's unclear how serious the 33-year-old right-handed slugger's hamstring injury is, but it's the same injury that he also dealt with earlier this year, so the Angels might prefer to put him on the shelf so it doesn't become a bigger issue. The Angels have been easing Mike Trout back into the fold at DH, so if Soler ends up missing significant time and Trout remains at DH, Chris Taylor and Lugo could split playing time in right field for the Halos. Soler entered Wednesday's game with a weak .213 average (44-for-207) with eight home runs, 24 RBI and 23 runs in 56 games in his first year with the Angels.
