Friday return looking likely Soler (hamstring) ramped up his running Thursday and is looking likely to return to Atlanta's lineup Friday versus the Nationals, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Impact Soler hasn't started a game since tweaking his left hamstring last Wednesday, although he did draw a walk in a pinch-hitting appearance Tuesday before being lifted for a pinch runner. The 32-year-old has already cranked four home runs in his first 15 games with Atlanta.

Still eyeing weekend return Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Wednesday that Soler (hamstring) has been running the bases and hitting and remains on track to return to the lineup during this weekend's series...
Impact Even though Soler will be out of the lineup for a sixth straight game Wednesday against the Phillies while he tends to a strained left hamstring, Atlanta remains confident that he'll avoid a stint on the injured list. In addition to classifying Soler as day-to-day, Snitker's willingness to use the 32-year-old off the bench in Tuesday's 3-1 win seemingly supports the notion that the outfielder/designated hitter will be back in the lineup soon. During his lone plate appearance Tuesday, Soler drew a walk in the bottom of the eighth inning before being lifted for a pinch runner.

Hopeful for Friday return Soler (hamstring) said Tuesday that he thinks he'll be ready to play Friday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Impact Soler has been sidelined since August 14 due to a strained left hamstring, but Atlanta chose not to place him on the injured list, hoping for a swift recovery. Despite this, Tuesday's game marked his fifth consecutive absence. A return timeline has now been established, and Soler is optimistic about playing in Friday's series opener against Washington. In his absence, Ramon Laureano has been covering right field.

Held out again Tuesday Soler (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.
Impact Soler has now been out of the lineup for four straight games after exiting a game last Thursday with a left hamstring strain. There's been no indication to this point that a trip to the 10-day injured list might be required, but certainly if the issue continues to linger it will become a possibility. Ramon Laureano will again handle right field for Atlanta.

Impact Soler indicated Friday that he didn't expect to play during the weekend series against the Angels, so it's no surprise he's absent from the starting nine Saturday.

Sitting Friday Soley (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.
Impact As expected, Soler will sit out of Friday's series opener after leaving Wednesday's game against Giants due to left hamstring tightness, though the 32-year-old could return at some point during the weekend series. Ramon Laureano will start in right field and bat eighth against Angels right-hander Jose Soriano.

Braves' Jorge Soler has mild hamstring strain, is day-to-day SAN FRANCISCO — Jorge Soler on Thursday underwent an MRI in San Francisco, and it showed a mild strain of his left hamstring, Braves manager...
AUGUST 16 • AJC.COM
Diagnosed with hamstring strain Soler was diagnosed with a mild hamstring strain Thursday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact Soler's hamstring caused him to come out of Wednesday's game early and miss Thursday's contest, but manager Brian Snitker labeled him as day-to-day, so the 32-year-old outfielder likely won't need to spend time on the IL. Soler said he will also sit out Friday's series opener against the Angels, per Mark Bowman of MLB.com, but he also noted that he's feeling better after a day of rest and may be able to return to the lineup over the weekend.

Won't play Thursday Manager Brian Snitker said Wednesday that Soler (hamstring) will not play in Thursday's game against the Giants, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact Soler injured his hamstring while running to first base in the fourth inning of Wednesday's contest, and while the overall concern level regarding his injury seems low, Atlanta will take a cautious approach and hold him out for a game. The slugging outfielder is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Thursday, which will help determine if he'll need to miss any more time.

Braves' Jorge Soler leaves game early due to left hamstring tightness SAN FRANCISCO – You actually cannot make this up.
AUGUST 15 • AJC.COM
Makes precautionary exit Soler was removed from Wednesday's game against the Giants due to left hamstring tightness.
Impact Soler presumably tweaked his hamstring while running to first base on a groundout in the fourth inning, causing him to be replaced in the field to start the bottom half of the frame. His removal was described as precautionary, so his injury likely isn't too serious, but his status for Thursday's series finale is uncertain.

Slugs two homers in loss Soler went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and four RBI in Sunday's 9-8 loss to Colorado.
Impact Soler helped Atlanta build an 8-2 lead with a three-run blast in the seventh inning and a solo shot in the eighth, but the team's bullpen couldn't make that lead last. Hitting in Colorado went extremely well for Soler this weekend -- he went 7-for-13 with four homers and nine RBI during the three-game series. He's now slashing .246/.336/.442 with 16 homers, 50 RBI, 64 runs scored, 24 doubles and a stolen base over 103 contests this season. He'll look to keep his bat hot against his most recent former team as Atlanta visits San Francisco for a four-game set starting Monday.

Getting afternoon off Soler is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers.
Impact Atlanta and Milwaukee are wrapping up their series with a day game after a night game, so Soler's absence from the lineup would seem to be maintenance-related. Since being acquired from the Giants on July 29, Soler had started in right field and batted leadoff in each of Atlanta's last seven games, going 4-for-24 with one extra-base hit (a double), four walks, two runs and one RBI. Ramon Laureano will replace Soler in right field Thursday, while center fielder Jarred Kelenic steps into the leadoff spot.
