Soler has informed the Marlins that he will opt out of the final year of his contract on Thursday, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.
Soler played out two seasons of his three-year contract, but he was set for a relatively low salary of $9 million in 2024. He hit 36 home runs and maintained a .853 OPS across 580 plate appearances in 2023, so there should be plenty of interest in him from teams around the league.
Soler isn't in the Marlins' lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
After an 0-for-4 performance to begin the day, Soler will ride the pine to begin the second game of Wednesday's twin bill. Jake Burger will serve as Miami's DH while Jon Berti starts at third base.

Marlins' Jorge Soler: Reinstated, batting second Sunday
Rotowire
Soler (oblique) was activated from the 10-day injured list and is batting second as Miami's designated hitter Sunday against Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Soler landed on the shelf Sept. 6 with an oblique strain -- after he missed the previous five games with a hip issue -- but he'll rejoin the active roster following a quick stay on the IL. The veteran slugger is hitting just .231 in 25 games since the start of August, though he's still showcased his power during that stretch with 10 homers.
Soler (oblique) has been cleared to begin a hitting progression, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Soler has been rehabbing from a right oblique strain in Miami, and he's been cleared to start ramping up his baseball activities. He'll be eligible to return from the 10-day injured list Sept. 16 against Atlanta, though it's unclear if he'll be ready to go after missing the minimum.

Marlins' Jorge Soler: Lands on IL with oblique strain
Rotowire
Soler was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right oblique strain, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Soler apparently suffered the oblique strain Tuesday in his first game back from a five-game absence for a bout of right hip tightness. It's another tough blow for the NL Wild Card-hunting Marlins, who also placed staff ace Sandy Alcantara on the injured list Wednesday because of a flexor strain. Soler leaves behind an .842 OPS with 35 homers and 71 RBI through 126 games on the year.

Marlins' Jorge Soler: Absent from Wednesday's lineup
Rotowire
Soler is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Dodgers, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Soler returned to action Tuesday following a five-game absence with a hip injury. He didn't suffer any known setback, so this would appear to be the Marlins simply easing him back into things. Josh Bell will be the designated hitter, with Luis Arraez shifting over to first base and Xavier Edwards getting a start at second.

Marlins' Jorge Soler: Absent from lineup again
Rotowire
Soler (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Soler will miss his fifth straight game on account of right hip tightness, an injury he first picked up in Tuesday's contest versus the Rays. Since Soler hasn't appeared off the bench in any of the previous four games, the Marlins could backdate a potential stint on the injured list, if one is deemed necessary. Miami may wait and see how Soler is feeling following Monday's off day before making a decision on whether he'll go on the IL prior to Tuesday's series opener with the Dodgers.

Marlins' Jorge Soler: Remains out Friday
Rotowire
Soler (hip) isn't in the Marlins' lineup Friday against Washington.
Soler will now miss his third straight start after being pulled from Tuesday's game with right hip tightness. Manager Skip Schumaker said Soler was potentially available off the bench Thursday, so there's a chance he could make a pinch hit appearance Friday. Jake Burger will serve as Miami's DH while Soler sits, allowing Garrett Hampson to start at third base.

Marlins' Jorge Soler: Could be available off bench
Rotowire
Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said Soler (hip) could be available off the bench Thursday at Washington, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Soler is out of the lineup for a third straight day because of lingering right hip tightness, but he's apparently starting to feel a little better and seems like a good bet to return in full Friday. The 31-year-old has hammered 35 home runs in 125 games this season with Miami.

Marlins' Jorge Soler: Sitting out with hip injury
Rotowire
Soler (hip) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Soler departed Tuesday's loss to Tampa Bay when his hip tightened up on him after a swing. He dealt with a hip issue at times last season as well, though it's not clear whether the injury he picked up Tuesday is related. For now, the slugger is considered day-to-day. Josh Bell is in the designated hitter spot Wednesday with Yuli Gurriel at first base.

Marlins' Jorge Soler: Battling hip tightness
Rotowire
Soler exited Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay due to right hip tightness, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.
Soler was clearly uncomfortable after a swing and miss in the seventh inning, though it wasn't immediately obvious what was bothering him. There is still no word on how long Soler may be out, but it's possible the Marlins give him at least a day off to recover.
