Slated to hit in sim game Solano (hamstring) will hit in a simulated game Friday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Although Solano is on the injured list to begin the season, manager David Bell is optimistic that the utility man won't have a lengthy absence. His participation in Friday's sim game echoes that optimism, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him begin a minor-league rehab assignment next week if his hitting session goes well.

Lands on 10-day injured list Solano (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

Impact Solano dealt with a left hamstring issue late in camp, and the injury will force him to miss the start of the regular season. Manager David Bell is optimistic that the 34-year-old won't require a lengthy stint on the injured list, but Brandon Drury is expected to fill in as a utility man in Solano's absence.

Won't be ready for Opening Day Manager David Bell said Wednesday that Solano (hamstring) will begin the regular season on the injured list, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Solano sustained a left hamstring injury Tuesday against the Rangers and feels slightly better Wednesday, but he'll still be held out to begin the regular season. An exact timetable for his return isn't yet clear, though manager David Bell suggested that Solano's stint on the IL "may not be very long," per Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer. Solano was expected to be a fixture in the lineup against left-handed pitching, but his absence could clear the way for the righty-hitting Brandon Drury to make the Opening Day roster as a utility man.

Not in starting lineup Solano (hamstring) isn't starting Wednesday's Cactus League game against Oakland.

Impact Solano left Tuesday's game with a left hamstring issue, and he'll be held out of the starting lineup Wednesday. The severity of the injury isn't yet known, and it's unclear whether he'll be available off the bench against Oakland.

Suffers hamstring injury Solano exited Tuesday's game against Texas with a left hamstring injury, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Solano walked off the field with a team trainer after hurting himself while running the bases. The exact nature and severity of the injury are not yet clear. He's expected to find his way into the lineup at least against lefties this season, but the rest of the Reds' starting infielders could each receive a few more at-bats if he winds up missing time.

Sustains leg injury Tuesday Solano exited Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Rangers in the third inning with an apparent left leg injury, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Solano, who picked up the start at shortstop, went 1-for-2 with an RBI before leaving the game when he appeared to hurt himself while advancing to second base on Tyler Stephenson's base hit. The Reds will presumably evaluate him in the locker room and provide an update on his condition after the game.

Back in action Sunday Solano (side) is starting at third base and batting sixth in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Rockies, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Solano has been sidelined since being hit by a pitch Tuesday against the Dodgers, but he'll rejoin the lineup after taking a few days to recover. The 34-year-old is poised to work in a utility role after inking a one-year, $4.5 million deal with the Reds in mid-March.

Exits after getting hit by pitch Solano left Tuesday's game against the Dodgers after a pitch hit him in the side, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Impact The exact nature of Solano's injury is unclear. If he suffered nothing worse than a bruise, he should be able to return to game action soon.

Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell on signing of infielder Donovan Solano Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell discusses the signing of infielder Donovan Solano.

MARCH 17, 2022 • CINCINNATI.COM

Gets $4.5M deal from Cincy Solano agreed Wednesday with the Reds on a one-year, $4.5 million contract, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

Impact Solano has seen the overwhelming majority of his innings at second base throughout his career, but unless the Reds elect to move reigning NL Rookie of the Year Jonathan India off the keystone, the 34-year-old will have to settle for most of his reps on the left side of the infield in 2022. Even with Cincinnati dealing Eugenio Suarez to Seattle earlier this week, the shortstop and third base positions still appear somewhat crowded, as all of Kyle Farmer, Jose Barrero and Mike Moustakas are competing for work at either position. Given the success he's had against lefty pitching over the past three seasons in San Francisco, Solano would probably make the most sense as a short-side platoon mate at the hot corner with the lefty-hitting Moustakas. From 2019 through 2021, Solano turned in wRC+ marks of 125, 137 and 121 versus southpaws.

Clutch homer in return Solano went 1-for-1 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 6-5 extra-innings win over Atlanta.

Impact The 33-year-old missed about three weeks due to COVID-19, but he was able to make a near-instant impact in his return to the big-league roster. Solano's pinch-hit, ninth-inning solo shot forced extra innings, where San Francisco ultimately won on a sacrifice fly by ace starter Kevin Gausman. Through 321 plate appearances, Solano has seven home runs, 31 RBI, 32 runs scored, a pair of stolen bases and a .278/.338/.406 slash line. He's expected to see a short-side platoon role with Tommy La Stella at second base going forward, although Solano could also fill in at shortstop or third base.

Activated Friday Solano (illness) was activated from the COVID-19 injured list Friday.

Impact Solano went 2-for-9 with an RBI during his three games on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento, and he's now set to rejoin the big club ahead of the series opener against Atlanta. While Solano won't have an everyday role going forward, he should see time across the infield during the season's final weeks.
