Player Outlook
Donovan Solano has been a remarkably consistent hitter over the past four seasons, batting between .280 and .286 with an OBP of between .339 and .369 in each of those campaigns. Those are nice numbers, but it's very hard to get excited about the veteran infielder from a fantasy perspective given his lack of production in any other area. While Solano is among baseball's best at hitting the ball at an ideal launch angle -- his 37.0 percent sweet-spot percentage last season was well above average for the sixth straight year -- he simply doesn't strike the ball with enough force to turn that skill into power production. In fact, Solano's eight long balls last year were the most he's ever hit in a big-league campaign. As long as he can continue to hit for average, Solano should have a place on an MLB roster, but there's little room in fantasy for a part-time player with almost no power or speed.

  • Mariners' Donovan Solano: Could see regular at-bats at DH

    Rotowire
    Solano could see regular at-bats at designated hitter this season, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports. Mitch Haniger and Mitch Garver (hand) appear to be the most likely candidates to occupy Seattle's DH spot on a daily basis this season, but Jude believes Solano could also get his fair share of action there in addition to the corner infield spots. Of the three players, it's worth noting Garver has stood out the most this spring with three home runs and six RBI in 18 at-bats. The Mariners have plenty of reps to fill in the infield following the offseason exits of both Josh Rojas and Justin Turner on top of moving Ty France at least year's trade deadline, so the versatile Solano could see playing time on the diamond elsewhere even if he doesn't carve out a consistent role at DH.

  • Mariners' Donovan Solano: Joining team in camp

    Rotowire
    Solano is expected to be present at Seattle's camp Saturday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. Solano missed the early part of camp due to visa issues, but the matter appears to have been resolved. Given that there is over a month left until the Mariners' first regular-season game, the infielder's initial absence shouldn't affect his readiness for the start of the campaign. Solano joined Seattle on a one-year contract in January and will likely be used at the corner infield spots during the upcoming season, though he's not slated for an everyday role.

  • Mariners' Donovan Solano: Not yet at camp

    Rotowire
    Solano has yet to report to spring camp due to visa issues, though the team hopes he will arrive by Friday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. The Mariners' Cactus League schedule begins Friday, so Solano should still be available for Seattle's entire slate of exhibition games as long as he arrives by then. The 37-year-old slashed .286/.343/.417 with eight homers and 35 RBI across 309 regular-season plate appearances with the Padres last year, and he's expected to begin 2025 in the short side of a platoon at first base with Luke Raley.

  • Mariners' Donovan Solano: Expected to be used mostly at 1B

    Rotowire
    The Mariners plan to deploy Solano mostly at first base, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. Solano could also be used some at third base, but he appears likely to see most of his action at first base as the short side of a platoon with Luke Raley. Seattle does not intend to use Solano at second base, per Kramer. The 37-year-old Solano slashed .286/.343/.417 with a career-high eight home runs over 96 regular-season contests for the Padres in 2024.

  • Mariners' Donovan Solano: One-year pact with Seattle

    Rotowire
    The Mariners signed Solano to a one-year, $3.5 million contract Monday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. He can earn an additional $1 million in incentives. Solano turned 37 last month but had a productive 2024 campaign with the Padres, slashing .286/.343/.417 with a career-high eight home runs over 96 contests. J.P. Crawford at shortstop looks to be the only infielder currently guaranteed a starting spot with the Mariners, so Solano should play plenty, particularly against left-handed pitching. He started games at third and first base in 2024 in addition to designated hitter and also has plenty of past experience at second base.

  • Padres' Donovan Solano: Sitting out Game 4

    Rotowire
    Solano isn't in the Padres' lineup Wednesday for Game 4 of the NLDS against the Dodgers. Wednesday marks the third straight game San Diego has decided to keep Solano on the bench after a 1-for-13 start to the postseason. Luis Arraez will get the starting nod at first base instead while David Peralta serves as the DH.

  • Padres' Donovan Solano: Out of Game 3 lineup

    Rotowire
    Solano is absent from the lineup Tuesday in Game 3 of the NLDS against the Dodgers. The Padres used Luis Arraez at first base and David Peralta in the designated-hitter slot in Game 2 and will go with that setup again after Peralta went deep in the contest. Solano did get two plate appearances off the bench in Game 2 and is a good bet to enter mid-game again when/if the Dodgers turn to a lefty reliever.

  • Padres' Donovan Solano: Absent from Sunday's lineup

    Rotowire
    Solano is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks. Luis Arraez will start at first base Sunday while Fernando Tatis serves as the designated hitter. Unless he comes in to pinch hit, Solano will end the regular season with a .287/.344/.418 slash line, eight home runs and 35 RBI across 308 plate appearances.

  • Padres' Donovan Solano: Four hits in Saturday's win

    Rotowire
    Solano went 4-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Diamondbacks. Solano picked up his first multi-hit effort since Sept. 14, which was also a four-hit game. The 36-year-old had three singles before going yard in the ninth inning to provide some insurance runs. He's been a decent bat for the Padres this year with a .287/.344/.418 slash line, eight homers, 35 RBI, 31 runs scored and two stolen bases over 95 contests.

  • Padres' Donovan Solano: Not starting Thursday

    Rotowire
    Solano is not in Thursday's starting lineup against the Dodgers. Solano has been the regular starter at first base for the past two weeks, but he'll bow out of the lineup after hitting only .222 across his last 10 starts. Luis Arraez will shift to first base, while David Peralta will enter the lineup and hit eighth.

  • Padres' Donovan Solano: Goes yard Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Solano went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Astros. Solano salvaged his stat line with an eighth-inning solo homer off Kaleb Ort, the infielder's seventh long ball of the campaign. In September, Solano is 8-for-37 (.216) with five runs and two RBI.

  • Padres' Donovan Solano: Hits three doubles Saturday

    Rotowire
    Solano went 4-for-5 with three doubles and a run in Saturday's 8-0 win against the Giants. Solano batted out of the No. 8 hole and gave the Padres plenty of run-scoring opportunities with his trio of two-baggers, though he was knocked in just once. The veteran infielder has started at first base in three of San Diego's past four contests and appears set to see plenty of playing time at that position with Jake Cronenworth playing second base and Xander Bogaerts shifting to shortstop while Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder) continues to miss time. Solano has earned the uptick in opportunities by slashing .312/.361/.468 over 32 games since the All-Star break.

  • Padres' Donovan Solano: Swats homer in loss

    Rotowire
    Solano went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Twins. Solano entered as a pinch hitter for Jurickson Profar in the fifth inning after the Twins built a 10-0 lead and homered to put the Padres on the board. He's been effective in a reserve role for San Diego this season, slashing .309/.360/.440 with six home runs, 28 RBI, 25 runs and a stolen base over 225 plate appearances.

  • Padres' Donovan Solano: Delivers homer off bench

    Rotowire
    Solano went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run during Sunday's 7-6 loss to Miami. Pinch hitting for Jake Cronenworth with one out in the eighth inning, Solano came up clutch and launched a two-run homer off Andrew Nardi to bring the Padres within one run. The long ball was Solano's fifth of the year -- a milestone he had reached just twice in his first 10 MLB seasons. In 212 plate appearances, Solano is slashing .313/.363/.436.

  • Padres' Donovan Solano: Four hits, four RBI in win

    Rotowire
    Solano went 4-for-5 with four RBI in Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Pirates. The four hits and four RBI are both new season highs for Solano, who's batting .400 (22-for-55) over his last 16 games. The veteran infielder is unlikely to overtake Jake Cronenworth, Luis Arraez, Xander Bogaerts or Manny Machado for a starting role, though he's proven to be a useful piece off the bench and against left-handed pitching. Overall, Solano's slashing .314/.366/.427 with four homers, 25 RBI, 21 runs scored and a stolen base through 202 plate appearances this season.

  • Padres' Donovan Solano: Pops fourth homer

    Rotowire
    Solano went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Rockies. Solano has played in just five games since the All-Star break, as there isn't room for him in the lineup when all of Jake Cronenworth, Luis Arraez and Xander Bogaerts are playing. Despite the limited action, Solano has gone 5-for-12 over those five games. The utility man has a .300/.355/.417 slash line with four homers, 21 RBI, 21 runs scored, nine doubles and one stolen base over 197 plate appearances this season. His playing time would likely pick up if there was an injury to one of the Padres' other infielders.

  • Padres' Donovan Solano: Playing time likely to dip

    Rotowire
    Solano will serve as the Padres' designated hitter and No. 2 batter in Sunday's game against Atlanta. Solano will close out the first half of the season having started in 18 of the Padres' last 19 games, but he'll likely move into more of a part-time role moving forward despite slashing .313/.343/.391 over his last 17 starts. With the Friars bringing back Xander Bogaerts from the injured list Friday, Luis Arraez is likely to see fewer starts in the infield and should instead operate as the team's primary designated hitter, which leaves no room in the lineup for Solano.

  • Padres' Donovan Solano: Exiting starting nine

    Rotowire
    Solano is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets. Solano had started each of the last eight games -- with seven coming at third base -- and went 5-for-29 with two home runs, three walks, six RBI and four runs. He should continue to have a regular spot in the lineup versus left-handed pitching, but Solano's opportunities to play against righties will likely become more limited now that Manny Machado is playing third base again after he had been relegated to designated hitter duties recently following his return from a right hip flexor strain.

  • Padres' Donovan Solano: Goes yard twice in win

    Rotowire
    Solano went 2-for-4 with two home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the A's. All the Padres' offense came from long balls, with Solano supplying a solo shot off Hogan Harris in the second inning and a two-run homer off Lucas Erceg in the eighth. Solano's only other home run this season came May 27, but during that 16-game stretch he's slashing .315/.367/.519 with seven runs and nine RBI while filling in as the starting third baseman for a banged-up Manny Machado.

  • Padres' Donovan Solano: Draws sixth straight start

    Rotowire
    Solano will start at third base and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game against the Athletics. Though Manny Machado returned to the lineup Monday after missing four straight games with a hip flexor strain, Solano has been able to maintain a spot in the lineup while Machado remains limited to designated hitter duties. Solano will get his sixth consecutive start Wednesday, but once Machado is cleared to resume playing third base, Solano will likely move into the short side of a platoon at designated hitter with David Peralta.
