Jorge Soler Sitting Out On Sunday
4 months agoAtlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler (hamstring) will be kept out of the lineup on Sunday afternoon for the fourth straight game. Soler was diagnosed with a mild hamstring strain on Thursday but remains day-to-day. As a result, veteran Ramon Laureano will cover right field again. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the 32-year-old's status prior to their three-game set against the Philadelphia Phillies, which kicks off on Tuesday evening. The slugger has once again enjoyed a nice power season, hitting 16 long balls so far with a .244/.339/.438 line. He returned to Atlanta at the deadline, where he won World Series MVP in 2021. When he returns to the lineup, he and Michael Harris II should share leadoff duties. Laureano could be a value play in DFS this afternoon as he will bat in the five-hole against Angels right-hander Jack Kochanowicz, who holds a 7.98 ERA.
