Donovan Solano - Page 13 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Day off Saturday Solano will sit Saturday against the Pirates, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Solano sits after starting 11 straight games at second base, a stretch in which he hit .279/.340/.302. Wilmer Flores slides to his usual spot Saturday, with Jason Vosler starting at third base.

Notches steal in win Solano went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 7-2 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Solano was hit by a pitch in the fifth and then swiped second base -- just his second steal of the year. He later singled and scored during a four-run seventh inning for the Giants. The 33-year-old has been brilliant at the plate recently, tallying seven hits in 17 at-bats over four games since returning from the All-Star break. For the year, he's slashing .274/.326/.365 with three homers, 21 RBI, 25 runs scored and a 16:42 BB:K over 242 plate appearances.

Giants All-Star shortstop Crawford goes on injured list

Third straight two-hit game Solano went 2-for-5 in Sunday's 2-1 loss to St. Louis.

Impact The 33-year-old has started the second half on a high note with three straight two-hit performances. The downside to Solano's recent work is that all six of those hits were singles. The contact-hitting infielder is slashing .274/.325/.367 with three home runs, 21 RBI, 24 runs scored and a stolen base in 237 plate appearances. He shouldn't be expected to hit for much power nor provide much speed on the basepaths, but he's started six of the Giants' last seven games at second base.

Tallies three hits Solano went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a hit-by-pitch in Saturday's 6-5 win over Arizona.

Impact Solano knocked in Brandon Crawford to cap a four-run rally in the third inning. All three of Solano's hits Saturday were singles. He's hit safely in nine of his last 11 games, going 14-for-42 (.333) with a home run, two RBI and four runs scored in that span. The infielder has a .278/.332/.386 slash line through 196 plate appearances, but he lacks much in the way of counting stats with three homers, 18 RBI, 21 runs scored and a stolen base.

Impact Solano singled in the second, walked in the sixth and homered in the eighth off Oakland reliever Jake Diekman to tie the game 4-4. The veteran infielder now has multiple hits in three of his last five games and is slashing a respectable .272/.324/.386 in 49 games.

Impact Solano enters Friday on a five-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 7-for-21 with three doubles, four RBI and four runs scored. He'll get a breather for the beginning part of Friday's game but figures to be a top option for manager Gabe Kapler off the bench. Wilmer Flores will shift to second base as Jason Vosler mans the hot corner.

Doubles, scores twice in win Solano went 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles and two runs Monday in a 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact The two extra-base hits were Solano's first since he homered back on May 29 in a win over the Dodgers. The 33-year-old typically doesn't hit for much power, but his strong bat-to-ball skills often translate to high batting averages. He's hit over .300 in both of the past two seasons, and his current .267 mark in 2021 could stand to improve, as his .306 BABIP is abnormally low for him.

Impact Solano sits after starting 12 of the last 13 games. Wilmer Flores slides to second base in his absence, with Jason Vosler starting at third. Solano will likely return to the lineup for the nightcap.

Impact Solano produced the Giants' lone run with an RBI single that scored Steven Duggar in the bottom of the seventh.

Slams second home run Solano went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, two additional runs scored and a walk in Saturday's 11-6 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Solano cranked a two-run home run off Julio Urias in the third inning to extend the Giants' lead. The 33-year-old provided a rare home run, considering he has never hit more than four long balls in any given season of his career. Both of his homers this season came in the last three games against the Dodgers. He is slashing .269/.302/.410 in 86 plate appearances.
