Marlins' Jorge Soler: Possible waiver wire pickups
Rotowire
Soler has been a letdown for so long that no one would blame you for expecting his numbers to take a turn for the worse. But they just keep getting better. Following a 4-for-5 performance Sunday, he's now batting .247 for the season and .282 (with seven home runs) in May. He's still underperforming his .256 xBA and .554 xSLG, both reflections of the premium exit velocities he always delivers, but he may not be underperforming them for long. Up next for him is a four-game series at Coors Field, and if that goes the way it so often goes, you may not get another chance at Soler.

Marlins' Jorge Soler: Possible waiver wire pickups
Rotowire
Every now and then, Jorge Soler will offer a reminder of his superlative power, and Tuesday night was one of those occasions. He didn't just hit two home runs. He hit two absolute tanks -- 468 and 433 feet -- both coming off the bat at more than 110 mph. He's now 9 for 24 (.375) with four home runs in his past six games, and he entered Tuesday ranking in the 91st percentile for average exit velocity and the 96th percentile for max exit velocity. The problem? His exit velocities have always ranked that high, and the performance has rarely measured up to them. He did have that 48-homer season for the Royals in 2019 and that impressive half-season for the Braves in 2021, but otherwise, he's been a hard-hitting disappointment. The upside is worth a shot now, but keep your expectations in check.

Marlins' Jorge Soler: Accounts for offense in loss
Rotowire
Soler went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Thursday's 6-3 loss to Atlanta.
Soler tagged Dylan Dodd for a two-run homer in the first inning and an RBI double in the fifth, but that was the extent of Miami's run production. This was Soler's third three-hit effort of the year, but he'd gone just 2-for-33 over nine games since his last such performance. The 31-year-old is batting only .220, but his .765 OPS through 30 contests would be his highest since 2020. He's added six homers, 13 RBI, 12 runs scored and nine doubles this season.

Marlins' Jorge Soler: On base four times Sunday
Rotowire
Soler went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Guardians.
It's the second three-hit performance for Soler in the last five games, as he continues to put a slow start to the season behind him. Over the last 11 games, the 31-year-old is batting .343 (12-for-35) with five doubles, two homers, four RBI, six runs and an impressive seven walks, although the free passes could be less due to improved patience and more to the opposition recognizing him as one of the few threats in the Marlins' lineup. Even so, Soler's current .950 OPS on the year would be a career high if he can keep it up.

Marlins' Jorge Soler: Possible waiver wire pickups
Rotowire
With the way he impacts the baseball, Jorge Soler always seems like he should be better than he is. And there have been times when his best version has shown up, like during his 48-homer 2019 and his half-season with the Braves just two years ago. In fact, there was some hope that his success with the Braves would carry into last year, but a back issue derailed things pretty early on. Now healthy, he's once again looking like his best self, with his Statcast page all lit up in red like Yordan Alvarez's. The premium exit velocities are nothing new, but Soler's expected stats -- a .304 xBA and .714 xSLG -- are more befitting of them. And the actual stats are catching up. A 3-for-4 performance Tuesday raised his batting average to .263 to go along with a .972 OPS.

Marlins' Jorge Soler: Takes seat in series opener
Rotowire
Soler is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Soler returned from a one-game absence due to a back injury to serve as Miami's designated hitter in Sunday's 5-0 loss to Arizona. He went 1-for-4 with a double in that contest and wasn't reported to have suffered any setbacks with the back injury, so Soler's absence from the lineup Monday is most likely maintenance-related.
