Jorge Soler Sitting Against Tigers

Miami Marlins outfielder Jorge Soler is not in the starting lineup on Sunday against the visiting Detroit Tigers. Soler will take a seat while struggling since the All-Star break.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Unlike Jake Burger, Jon Berti doesn't hit the ball out of the ballpark, but he gets on base and can occasionally nab you a few stolen bags.

Avisail Garcia Expected To Be Added To Active Roster Tomorrow

Miami Marlins outfielder Avisail Garcia (back) is expected to rejoin the team on Sunday, per beat writer Jordan McPherson. Garcia has been out since late April with a back issue so his return is a long time coming. He was slashing just .188/.243/.333 with three home runs over 22 games before his injury so there's […]
