Jorge Soler designated for assignment
The veteran slugger is hitting .203 with a .664 OPS this season as the Angels continue a roster overhaul after the trade deadline.
- On Tuesday, Aug. 4, the Angels designated outfielder Jorge Soler for assignment after Mike Rodriguez reported the news, which the club later confirmed.
- Soler struggled in 361 plate appearances over 86 games this season, lacking the power that helped him lead the Braves to a championship five years ago.
- With a 32.7% strikeout rate and 65.7% contact rate, Soler's expected batting average of.206 ranks in the bottom 4% among big leaguers.
- The Angels' trade deadline activity included moving Jo Adell to the Cleveland Guardians on Monday and shipping Jose Soriano and relievers for a prospect haul.
- Despite recent struggles, Soler should attract contender interest after clearing waivers, given his career 1.027 OPS in postseason play.
