Soler was placed on the IL on July 26 and then later moved to the 60-day IL on September 8. He has been ramping up his activity at the Angels’ complex out in Arizona, but it’s unlikely he will make it back in time to play any games this week. He has one year left on his contract, so he figures to be the starting DH for the Angels in 2026 and will hope to improve on his .215/.293/.387 slash line to go along with 12 home runs and 34 RBI in 82 games.

Soler can still be activated from the injured list at any time, but it appears his season is likely over. The 33-year-old slugger spent more time in right field during his Angels debut than anticipated due to Mike Trout’s ongoing knee issues and would up hitting the shelf for good back in late July with lower back inflammation.

Soler has been on the IL since July 26th with lower back inflammation. Provided his back responds well to the swings, Soler could start a rehab assignment later this week and perhaps return early in September.

Soler was removed from Wednesday’s game with tightness in the back, and the Angels won’t go short-handed while the 33-year-old is unavailable. This could be a shorter stint on the IL if there are no setbacks, but for now Gustavo Campero takes Soler’s place on the roster.

It’s the second straight game that Soler has missed after exiting Wednesday’s contest against the Mets due to tightness in his back. There haven’t been any rumblings yet about requiring a trip to the injured list, but if this lingers through the weekend the Angels’ hand may be forced on this one.

Soler has been battling a lingering back issue for nearly a month at this juncture, which has cut into his playing time recently. The 33-year-old is presumably day-to-day heading into Thursday’s series opener against the Mariners.

Soler has been dealing with some nagging issues as of late, and it appears that has something to do with the early exit for the 33-year-old. Chris Taylor has moved to right field from third base, and Kevin Newman has taken over at third. Specifics on why Soler left Wednesday’s game should be available shortly.

The 33-year-old slugger victimized Mets’ right-hander Frankie Montas for his 378-foot (106.7 mph EV) solo shot to open the scoring in the second inning. That would be Soler’s only hit in four at-bats on the night. For the season, he’s slashing an underwhelming .216/.294/.388 to go along with 12 long balls and 34 RBI.

Soler started each of the first three games following his return from the injured list, so they’ll give him a breather as they ease him back into a full-time workload. Gustavo Campero will start in his place in right field and bat eighth against Eric Lauer and the Blue Jays on Friday evening in Toronto.

The Angels scored a run on an RBI double by Jo Adell in the top half of the eighth inning to take a 1-0 lead then Soler followed with a two-run double that seemingly put the game out of reach at that stage. A fun night for Soler to victimize his former ballclub in his first game back off the injured list. On the season, the 33-year-old slugger is slashing an underwhelming .209/.287/.356 with eight long balls and 28 RBI.

Mike Trout still isn’t seeing any outfield time, so Soler, who missed two weeks with back inflammation, will have to contribute as a right fielder for now. He’s been quite the liability to this point, having hit .207/.280/.350 with about as many strikeouts (79) as total bases (83) in 265 plate appearances. LaMonte Wade Jr., who has been seeing most of the time in right field of late, will likely be more of a bench guy now.

The Angels optioned Scott Kingery on Monday, and no corresponding move has been announced yet. The Orange County Register’s Jeff Fletcher reported that Soler said over the weekend that he was very close to being ready, and he did travel with the team to Atlanta. That means Soler could be activated for this series; however, he’s slashing 207/.280/.350 with eight home runs, 26 RBI, and a 30 percent strikeout rate, so fantasy managers may want to see more production before adding him.

The 33-year-old slugger hadn’t played since Tuesday and wasn’t making any progress in his recovery, so the Angels did the right thing and shut him down to make sure that the injury heals properly. Gustavo Campero was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake to take his place on the club’s active roster.

Soler has struggled all season, hitting just .207/.280/.350 with eight home runs, 26 RBI, and a 30 percent strikeout rate. This back injury might be an opportunity to place him on the injured list and give him a brief reset. Jo Adell will move to right field with Soler out of the lineup, and Scott Kingery will start in center field and bat seventh.

Soler will get some extra rest during Wednesday’s showdown against the Yankees with Luis Rengifo heading out to right field in his place. The 33-year-old veteran slugger went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts on Tuesday night and is just 5-for-42 with zero extra-base knocks since June 1. He’s presumably day-to-day for now.

Soler is 5-for-42 with no extra-base hits and a 17/4 K/BB this month, leaving him with an awful .207/.280/.350 line for the season. It’s not like the Angels’ alternatives are really any better, but given his lack of defense and any ability to contribute on the basepaths, Soler is quite the liability when he’s not mashing.

Soler missed time earlier in the week due to a groin injury so it’s likely that they’re taking a cautious approach and easing him back into full-time action. LaMonte Wade Jr. will start in his place in right field and bat seventh for the Halos against Tomoyuki Sugano and the Orioles on Saturday evening in Baltimore.

Soler is back in right field and batting fifth on Tuesday night at Angel Stadium following a brief two-game absence recovering from a lingering groin issue. It doesn’t appear to be a serious concern moving forward, but the Angels are likely to be cautious with his workload to avoid a setback.

Soler is getting some extra time off to rest and recover after dealing with a lingering groin issue last week. The 33-year-old veteran outfielder appears likely to avoid a trip to the injured list, but it wouldn’t be shocking to see him sitting out a few additional games this week. It’ll be Chris Taylor continuing to handle right field during his ongoing absence.

Soler will sit out Sunday’s series finale after aggravating a lingering groin issue during Saturday’s contest. The 33-year-old veteran slugger might be able to avoid a trip to the injured list, but he’s going to get some extra time off to put the issue to bed. It’ll be super-utility specialist Chris Taylor taking over in right field on Sunday afternoon.

Soler has been dealing with tightness over the last few days, and Saturday’s latest injury saw him exit after just one inning. He should be considered day-to-day, but it’s possible the Angels will need to evaluate the severity of Soler’s injury again.

Soler made it back for Friday’s series opener in Seattle after making a precautionary early exit from Wednesday’s contest against the Red Sox with groin tightness. It doesn’t seem like a massive concern going forward.

Angels manager Ron Washington told reporters afterwards that they believe they caught the issue early before it became worse. He also expressed optimism that Soler will be ready for Friday’s series opener against Seattle. The 33-year-old slugger should benefit from some extra rest during Thursday’s off day and could potentially be ready to return later this week.

Soler drew a walk to open the second inning and raced around to score the game’s first run on an RBI single off the bat of Jo Adell. The 33-year-old slugger added a two-out RBI single in the seventh inning that increased the Halos’ lead to 3-0. He then put the icing on the victory with a 393-foot (105.4 mph EV) solo shot off of Andrew Walters in the eighth inning. On the season, Soler is now slashing .230/.304/.408 with eight homers and 23 RBI.

The sizzling-hot Angels are going for their fifth consecutive victory on Tuesday night in Sacramento, but Soler is one of the few hitters that’s been trending in the opposite direction of late. The 33-year-old veteran slugger is hitting .158 (9-for-57) with one homer and five RBI in 16 games since the start of May. It’ll be catcher Logan O’Hoppe getting a turn at DH on Tuesday night in his place.

Soler was scratched from the lineup Friday, and he’ll miss at least one more game. The hope is for Soler to return for the finale against Baltimore on Sunday, but no guarantees. Matthew Lugo is in left field with Taylor Ward the designated hitter.

The issue must not have been too serious though as Soler did appear in the game as a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning where he drew a one-out walk against Yennier Cano. He’s considered day-to-day, but it wouldn’t be surprising in the slightest to see him return to the Angels’ starting lineup on Saturday.
