Homers, makes no outs in opener Soler went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, two RBI, a pair of walks and two runs scored during Thursday's Opening Day win over the Rangers.

Impact Coming off an oblique injury that derailed most of his 2020 season, Soler sprung out with a solid start against Texas, reaching base in each at-bat. The 29-year-old added an exclamation point by evening the score at 8-8 with a solo home run against Kyle Cody in the fourth inning. After a 48-homer campaign in 2019, Soler scuffled to a .228/.326/.443 line last year, but he's a prime candidate to bounce back this season.

Hitting for power early in spring Soler went 1-for-1 with a home run and a walk in Wednesday's 9-3 Cactus League win over the Reds.

Impact The home run was the second in as many days for Soler, who had been off to a 2-for-15 start to the spring before this recent power surge. The 29-year-old hit .228 and mashed only eight homers in 43 games during an injury-plagued 2020 season, but he'll be eyeing a bounce-back campaign in 2021 after reporting to camp at full health.

Gets over $8 million from Royals Soler agreed to a one-year, $8.05 million deal with the Royals on Wednesday, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

Impact He will return as the Royals' primary designated hitter for the 2021 season. Soler, who turns 29 in February, hit .228/.326/.443 with eight home runs in 43 games last season -- a significant drop off from the .265/.354/.569 line and 48 home runs he logged in 2019. Even if he doesn't bounce all the way back to the statistics he put up in his career year, he should have a secure spot in the heart of the lineup this upcoming season.

Lands on injured list Soler was placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained right oblique Friday.

Impact The injury will bring a premature end to Soler's campaign. He missed time with the injury earlier in September but returned from the injured list Monday, appearing in the next four games. He was evidently still somewhat hurt, however, so he'll be shut down a few days early with the Royals out of the playoff picture.

Sitting out Thursday Soler isn't starting Thursday against the Tigers.

Impact Soler went 1-for-11 with one RBI and four strikeouts in three games since returning from an oblique injury, and he'll get a breather Thursday. Ryan O'Hearn will serve as the designated hitter.

To IL with oblique strain Soler was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right oblique strain.

Impact While Soler will be eligible to return Sept. 16 at Detroit, the nature of the injury could prevent him from returning before the end of the regular season. The Royals will likely mix and match at designated hitter going forward.
