Jorge Soler Reinstated and Starting on Monday Night
The Los Angeles Angels announced on Monday that they reinstated outfielder Jorge Soler (oblique) from the 10-day injured list and designated infielder Nick Madrigal for assignment in a corresponding move. Infielder Trey Mancini was also outrighted to Triple-A Reno, but he elected free agency. Soler is serving as the designated hitter and will bat third for the Halos in his return on Monday in the series opener against the visiting Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Kyle Bradish. Soler has been out since June 6 with a strained left oblique, and he didn't go on a minor-league rehab assignment, so fantasy managers may want to expect the right-handed slugger to be knocking off quite a bit of rust. The 34-year-old Cuban outfielder already swings and misses often, but with nine home runs in 214 at-bats before his injury, he can also still provide useful power for managers searching for pop on the waiver wire. With that said, RBI opportunities might be few and far between for Soler on one of the worst teams in baseball. He's rostered in only 15% of Yahoo leagues.
