Nick Solak reportedly signed a minor-league contract Tuesday, per FanSided.com's Robert Murray. The deal includes an invite to spring training. The 29-year-old only appeared in two big-league games in 2023 but had his best stint with Triple-A Gwinnett, where he slashed .272/.364/.444 in 173 plate appearances. At this point, Solak has a long way to go before meriting fantasy attention.

2 years agoThe Detroit Tigers claimed outfielder
Nick Solak off waivers from the Atlanta Braves on Friday and optioned him to Triple-A Toledo. In a corresponding move to make room for Solak on the 40-man roster, the team moved right-hander
Spencer Turnbull (neck) to the 60-day injured list. Solak heads to the Tigers after being designated for assignment by Atlanta earlier this week. The 28-year-old only played in one game for the Braves this year and didn't have an official plate appearance. In 38 contests for Triple-A Gwinnett, he hit .272 (41-for-151) with eight doubles, six home runs, 28 RBI and 23 runs scored. Solak is a career .252 hitter in five big-league seasons with 21 homers, 93 RBI and 19 stolen bases. He'll have a better shot at playing in the majors in Detroit, but he's still off the fantasy radar.

2 years agoThe Atlanta Braves claimed outfielder
Nick Solak off waivers from the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett. It comes after the White Sox designated Solak for assignment on Sunday. The 28-year-old had a promising rookie season with the Texas Rangers in 2019, when he batted .293 with five home runs and 17 RBI in 33 games, but he has struggled to hit major-league pitching since. In his four seasons with Texas, Solak slashed .252/.327/.372 with a .700 OPS, 21 home runs, 93 RBI, 19 stolen bases and 117 runs scored in 253 games played. For now, Solak will represent outfield depth in the Braves organization at the minor-league level. He can continue being ignored in fantasy.

2 years agoChicago White Sox infielder/outfielder
Nick Solak has been designated for assignment. The White Sox just claimed Solak off waivers from the Mariners several days ago but had to clear up some roster space due to injuries. If he passes through waivers then he would serve as organizational depth for the White Sox. He hit with just .077/.294/.077 over four games with the Tacoma Rainiers, the Mariners' Triple-A affiliate, before being claimed by Chicago.
