Sits against right-hander Solak isn't starting Wednesday against Philadelphia.

Impact Most of Solak's starts this season have come against left-handed pitchers, and he'll retreat to the bench against righty Zack Wheeler on Wednesday. Andy Ibanez will serve as the designated hitter while Zach Reks enters the lineup in left field.

Gets start against lefty Solak started in left field and went 1-for-2 with a stolen base and run scored in Sunday's 7-3 win over Atlanta.

Impact Solak got the start in left field, per usual when the Rangers face left-handed starters. He was pulled later in the game for a pinch hitter against a righty reliever. Solak is the primary starter in left field against lefties, while Brad Miller and, more recently, Zak Reks occupy left field against righties.

Belts big blast Solak went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 8-6 win over Seattle.

Impact The Mariners built a five-run first-inning lead in the contest, but the Rangers clawed their way back. They took their first lead in the fifth inning when Solak swatted a two-run shot to left field. The long ball was his second of the season and first since Opening Day. Before Thursday, he hadn't knocked in a run over his previous seven games.

Gets another start in LF Solak started in left field and went 0-for-4 in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to Seattle.

Impact Solak made a fourth consecutive start in left field. That's by design whenever the Rangers are facing lefty-starters, as they were in three of those four contests, but he also started against a righty because primary left fielder Brad Miller dealt with back tightness over the weekend. Miller returned to action Tuesday as a pinch hitter and played three innings at third base, which suggests he could be ready to go in the outfield Wednesday against Mariners' right-hander Logan Gilbert.

Raps two hits in loss Solak started in left field and went 2-for-5 in Sunday's 8-3 loss to the Angels.

Impact Solak made a second consecutive start in left field while Brad Miller (back) remains sidelined. He likely would have started Sunday, regardless of Miller's injury, against a southpaw and is the primary fill-in against all opposing pitchers until Miller's ready. Solak is 6-for-19 with one extra-base hit and one RBI as a part-timer through six games.

Fills in for Miller Solak started in left field in place of the injured Brad Miller (back) and went 0-for-3 in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Angels.

Impact Miller was a late scratch from the lineup, giving Solak an opportunity against right-handed starter Noah Syndergaard. With left-hander Jose Suarez on the bump Sunday for the Angels, Solak is expected to get another opportunity regardless of Miller's status. Solak is 4-for-14 (.286) with five runs, one home run and one RBI through five games.

Crosses home four times Solak started in left field and went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and three additional runs scored in Sunday's 12-6 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact Solak's second-inning solo job was the lone offense through three innings before the powerful Texas lineup plated eight runs in innings four and five. With the Rangers facing their first left-handed starter, Solak made his first start, replacing Brad Miller. The Rangers rank first in the majors with 23 runs over three games and own a healthy .811 OPS. That means there's no reason for Solak to replace an existing starter, so he'll need to find opportunities off the bench or against southpaws.

Makes up for miscue Solak went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's spring training game against Oakland.

Impact Solak, who played second base in 2021, is trying to diversify into left field, where he started Thursday. He didn't play a game in the outfield last season and was shaky early, when he misplayed a ball due to the sun, which led to a run. He later made up for it by cranking a two-run homer, his second four-bagger of the Cactus League. If Solak's going to get regular at-bats in 2022, it will be as an outfielder. He's 4-for-10 thus far in three spring training games.

Goes deep Tuesday Solak went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's spring training game against Arizona.

Impact Solak hit the first of two homers off Madison Bumgarner in the second inning to put the Rangers on top for good. He started in left field, where he's expected to spend most of his time in 2022 -- and could be the starter -- after serving at second base last season. With Marcus Semien signed, Solak will focus on left field with potential to get time at third base. If he struggles at the plate like he did last season, Solak could eventually be knocked from the starter's job by Eli White, who also homered Tuesday, when his elbow has healed enough for him to play the field.

MARCH 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Focusing on left field Texas manager Chris Woodward said Tuesday that Solak will primarily focus on left field in training camp, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Impact Solak has experience at third base, and his name was floated as a candidate for the starting job at the hot corner, but Woodward burst that bubble. The manager talked more about Andy Ibanez and Yonny Hernandez competing for the job, while also throwing in the possibility of a platoon. Solak was Texas' starter at second base on Opening Day in 2021 but struggled at the plate and was eventually demoted to Triple-A Round Rock, where he mostly played second base.
