The Giants placed Soler on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right shoulder strain, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Soler's shoulder has caused him to miss the last three games, and he'll now officially be sidelined for another several days. The move is retroactive to Sunday, so it's possible the 32-year-old slugger is able to return in a week, but the Giants will wait and see how his shoulder heals. Heliot Ramos was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.

Soler (shoulder) isn't in the Giants' lineup for Tuesday's game against Colorado, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although Soler's shoulder injury has now kept him out of the lineup for three consecutive games, the Giants have not said anything that would suggest a future move to the IL for the 32-year-old slugger. His absence Tuesday will allow Wilmer Flores to serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth.

Soler (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Philadelphia, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Soler will be on the bench for a second straight game while he tends to a shoulder injury. With Soler out of the lineup, LaMonte Wade will get a day off at first base and will serve as the Giants' designated hitter.

Soler was out of the lineup Sunday versus the Phillies due to a shoulder issue, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Soler is considered day-to-day, which suggests the injury isn't too severe. Wilmer Flores got the start at designated hitter Sunday and could continue to play there if Soler isn't available for Monday's series finale in Philadelphia.

Soler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Soler started the past 11 games but will sit Sunday after going 5-for-38 during that stretch. Wilmer Flores will bat third as the designated hitter.

Soler went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Soler's 10th-inning blast got the Giants within a run, but the comeback effort fell short. He went 0-for-12 with one walk and six strikeouts over the previous three games. Soler's power is at an acceptable level (five homers, .414 slugging percentage) through 28 games, but he's batting just .222 with a .736 OPS, well under his .250 average and .853 OPS from last season.

EDGE Analysis
It's the first day off of the season for Soler, who has gone 5-for-16 with a solo homer during a modest four-game hit streak. Wilmer Flores will bat third as the designated hitter Sunday.

Soler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 17-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
The Giants had just four hits in the contests, with Soler's homer being the only one to produce a run for the home team. He's been strong lately, going 9-for-28 (.321) with two homers, one double, three RBI and four runs scored over his last eight games. The slugger is slashing .240/.341/.453 with four homers, six RBI and 12 runs scored over 21 contests to begin his Giants tenure.

Soler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 11-2 win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Soler went seven games without a long ball, and he hit just .125 (3-for-24) with five walks in that span. The designated hitter's power has been there for the Giants so far with three homers through 15 games, but he's batting just .208 with four RBI, nine runs scored, three doubles and a 10:13 BB:K over 64 plate appearances.

Soler went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Soler has powered up with homers in back-to-back games, and he has an RBI in each of the last three contests. The slugger is 7-for-25 (.280) with a 5:6 BB:K through seven games this season. Soler displayed better plate discipline with a 24.3 percent strikeouts rate and an 11.6 percent walk rate in 2023, but it's possible he could build on those marks in 2024. His playing as the Giants' designated hitter has been steady, so he should continue to be heavily involved in run production.
