Minnesota Twins infielder Donovan Solano's (knee) MRI exam showed that he has a mild MCL sprain in his right knee after getting injured in Tuesday's game. Nothing showed up on his ankle, but he remains sore on Wednesday and is not in the starting lineup against the Detroit Tigers. It's unknown how long Solano will be out, but the team doesn't view it as a long-term injury. It doesn't mean that the 35-year-old won't go on the injured list, but he should at least be back this season. He's considered day-to-day for the time being while the team waits for the swelling in his knee to subside. Solano is a much better real-life player than a fantasy one. He's currently hitting .278/.377/.402 with only four homers, 25 RBI and 30 runs scored in Minnesota.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Seattle Mariners first baseman Donovan Solano is expected to join the team on Saturday. Solano has missed the early portion of camp due to visa issues. However, given that he only missed a brief period of camp, Solano should not be in any danger of missing Opening Day. Earlier in the offseason, the 37-year-old signed a one-year deal with the Seattle Mariners worth $3.5 million. Reports suggested that the team views Solano as a primary first baseman. Last season in San Diego, Solano made most of his starts at the hot corner but did see 26 opportunities at first base. Across 96 contests, Solano held a .286/.343/.417 line with eight home runs and two stolen bases. Fantasy managers should expect him to operate in a platoon role at first base alongside Luke Raley.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

Seattle Mariners first baseman Donovan Solano has not reported to camp due to visa issues. Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times said the team hopes Solano will report to camp by Friday. Earlier in the offseason, the Mariners signed the first baseman to a one-year contract worth $3.5 million. In addition, reports in the offseason suggested that the team will primarily deploy Solano at first base in a platoon alongside Luke Raley. Last season in San Diego, the 37-year-old posted a strong .286/.343/.417 slash line with eight home runs and two stolen bases. However, he generated a modest .307 xwOBA, suggesting he could face some regression during the 2025 campaign. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status during spring training. However, given that he is expected to be on the short side of a platoon, he will only carry value in deeper AL-only formats.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

According to Daniel Kramer of MLB.com, Seattle Mariners infielder Donovan Solano is expected to spend most of the 2025 season at first base. Solano signed a one-year contract with the Mariners earlier this offseason. Throughout his career, he has been deployed at several positions in the infield, but it appears the Mariners view him primarily as a first baseman. As a result, fantasy managers should expect him to be on the short side of a platoon with Luke Raley throughout most of the season. Last summer with San Diego, the 37-year-old posted a .282/.343/.417 line with 13 doubles and eight home runs. However, he generated poor metrics, which suggest he could be due for some regression during the 2025 season. Solano should only be targeted in deeper AL-only formats, given his lack of power and potential for a limited role.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

According to the team, the Seattle Mariners have signed free agent infielder Donovan Solano to a one-year contract worth $3.5 million. The 37-year-old spent the entire 2024 campaign with the San Diego Padres and posted a solid .286/.343/.417 line. He hit eight home runs, 13 doubles, swiped two bags, and held a 22:65 BB:K ratio. Under the hood, he generated a .307 xwOBA and 37.4% hard-hit rate, suggesting he could be due for some regression in 2025. Solano performed very well against southpaws last season, posting a .302 AVG and .443 SLG, which was much higher than the .277 AVG and .403 SLG he posted against right-handed pitching. During the 2023 season, the 11-year MLB veteran posted a similar .282/.369/.391 line with five long balls. Fantasy managers should expect Solano to compete for an everyday role in the Seattle infield.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller
