Jorge Soler sidelined by hip irritation amid ongoing power outage
Jorge Soler's status is up in the air after exiting Wednesday's game with left hip irritation, adding more misery to the last-place Angels (24-39). He serves as the primary designated hitter but has struggled recently, batting .244 with zero home runs over his last 14 days.
Soler has struggled to find his signature power stroke, hitting just two home runs over the last 30 days. However, our models project him to finish with 12 home runs and 39 RBIs. While a repeat of his career-high 36 homers is unlikely, his track record suggests this current power drought is a fluke.
The Angels have three games left this week on the road against the rival Dodgers. Soler faces a brutal slate, including a matchup against ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who boasts a pristine 2.86 ERA. Given the looming injury concern and difficult matchups, fantasy managers should keep him benched. Verdict: Sit.
