Heading to injured list
The Angels placed Soler (oblique) on the 10-day injured list Saturday (retroactive to June 4).
Analysis
Soler was scratched on Friday due to a hip issue, but he will now hit the injured list due to a left oblique strain. The 34-year-old slugger has .220/.300/.402 with nine homers and 33 RBI through 243 plate appearances this season. Soler's placement on the IL coincides with the activation of Nolan Schanuel, who logged a minimum IL stint due to an ankle injury.

Scratched Friday
Soler was scratched from the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers due to hip tightness.
Analysis
Soler's hip forced him to make an early exit from Wednesday's contest, and although it originally seemed like he was good to go for Friday's game, the Angels will instead keep him on the bench as a precaution. Adam Frazier will replace Soler as the Halos' designated hitter and bat ninth.

Serving as DH vs. Dodgers
Soler (hip) is serving as the designated hitter and batting out of the cleanup spot against the Dodgers on Friday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis
Soler was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rockies due to a left hip injury, but he has been cleared to play in Friday'' series opener. He has reached base safely in each of his last 11 games, and over that span he has gone 11-for-44 (.250) with three RBI and six runs scored.

Exits with hip issue
Soler was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rockies with left hip irritation.
Analysis
Soler went 0-for-2 with two strikeouts and a walk before leaving the game in the fifth inning. The Angels were already leading 8-1 when the 34-year-old was pulled, so it's possible his removal was just a precaution, but the team may offer more clarity after the game.

Logs first triple in three-hit game
Soler went 3-for-5 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 9-8 loss to the Rockies.
Analysis
Soler logged his first three-hit game of the campaign, highlighted by a two-RBI triple in the eighth inning that tied the game, though the Angels ultimately fell. It marked the veteran slugger's first triple of the season and his first since 2024, giving him just five three-baggers across 13 big-league campaigns. On the year, Soler is slashing .221/.301/.404 with nine homers, 33 RBI and 27 runs across 56 games.
