Jorge Soler Back In Action For Giants
5 months agoSan Francisco Giants outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler (illness) is back as the team's DH and will hit second in Thursday's series finale against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays and right-hander Kevin Gausman. Soler will return to the lineup after missing the last two games due to an illness. But the 32-year-old right-handed slugger is feeling better on Thursday and will return for a matchup against Gausman, who he has hit .250 against with a .500 OPS in eight career at-bats. The Cuban power hitter has only 10 homers and is batting .224 (64-for-286) in his first year in San Fran and has also been cold so far in six games in July, going 4-for-25 (.160) with a homer, two doubles, one RBI and nine strikeouts. It's been a disappointing 2024 campaign after he made his first All-Star team in 2023 with Miami, when he hit 36 homers and drove in 75 runs.
