Jorge Soler Still Out, Likely To Return Later This Week
Jorge Soler (hamstring) has been running the bases and is hitting, but he remains out of Wednesday's starting lineup against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies at Truist Park. Soler remains day-to-day and is likely to return later this week, most likely for the series opener on Friday against the visiting division-rival Washington Nationals. The 32-year-old veteran right-handed slugger is missing his sixth straight game, but he sounds likely to avoid a trip to the injured list due to a strained left hamstring. Soler came in to pinch hit on Tuesday and drew a walk in the eighth inning before being lifted for a pinch-runner. Ramon Laureano is making another start in right field for Atlanta on Wednesday and is batting eighth against Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola. In the tough matchup, DFS managers should be looking to avoid Laureano.
