Will bat leadoff Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Tuesday that Soler will serve as the team's primary leadoff hitter, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Soler took off after the Giants moved him to the leadoff spot, posting a .911 OPS over his last 24 games before being dealt to Atlanta on Monday. The 32-year-old also occasionally hit leadoff for Atlanta during the team's run to a 2021 World Series title. With Soler at the top of the batting order, Jarred Kelenic will slide down to the back half of the lineup.

Not expected to play Tuesday Soler isn't expected to be active for Tuesday's game in Milwaukee, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Atlanta acquired Soler and right-hander Luke Jackson from San Francisco on Monday in a deal sending lefty Tyler Matzek (elbow) and infielder Sabin Ceballos to San Francisco. While Soler and Jackson are expected to arrive in Milwaukee at some point Tuesday, neither player appears likely to join the club in time to be activated prior to first pitch. Both should be activated prior to the series finale against the Brewers on Wednesday. Soler is expected to see most of his playing time in right field in Atlanta after serving exclusively as a designated hitter for San Francisco in 2024.

Impact Soler and Jackson were traded to Atlanta on Monday in a deal sending Tyler Matzek and Sabin Ceballos to San Francisco. The Giants are playing in San Francisco and Atlanta is in Milwaukee, so the logistics aren't working in Soler's favor as he looks to join his new team. He could be activated prior to the series finale against the Brewers on Wednesday. Soler is expected to see most of his playing time in right field in Atlanta.

Impact Soler will head back to Atlanta, where he was a part of the team's postseason run and ultimate World Series championship in 2021 after being acquired at the trade deadline from Kansas City. The 32-year-old has produced a .240 batting average with 12 home runs, 40 RBI, 57 runs scored and one stolen base over 341 at-bats in 93 games with the Giants this season. Soler has also been running hot as of late, going 11-for-18 with a home run, five RBI and eight runs scored over his last five games. He's operated primarily as a designated hitter in 2024, but with Marcell Ozuna holding down that role in Atlanta, it's possible that Soler is asked to play some more in the corner outfield with his new club.

Bat stays hot in win Soler went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.

Impact Soler posted a trio of three-hit games during this weekend's four-game series versus the Rockies, going 9-for-15 with four RBI and three walks in that span. The slugger has batted .359 (14-for-39) over 11 contests since the All-Star break, though it helps the Giants have faced the Rockies in seven of those games. For the season, he's up to a .240/.330/.419 slash line through 93 contests.

Three hits in nightcap Soler went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored in a 5-0 win over the Rockies in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.

Impact Soler was 0-for-3 with a walk in the first game, but he bounced back with a strong showing in the nightcap for his third multi-hit effort in the last four games. The 32-year-old is batting .253 with nine extra-base hits and eight RBI over 21 contests in July. For the season, he's up to a .235/.378/.467 slash line with 12 home runs, 39 RBI, 56 runs scored, one stolen base and 22 doubles over 92 games.

Excellent from leadoff spot again Soler went 3-for-3 with a home run, two walks, three RBI and four runs scored in Friday's 11-4 win over the Rockies.

Impact Soler's bat is coming around -- he's collected five hits over his last two games. He's also on a four-game streak of drawing multiple walks. The designated hitter is up to a .231/.323/.407 slash line with 12 homers, 39 RBI, 54 runs scored and one stolen base through 90 contests on the year. While leadoff isn't an ideal spot for Soler to knock in runs, if he continues to hit well, he should provide well-rounded numbers over the final two months of the season.

On base four times in loss Soler went 2-for-3 with a pair of walks, one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Soler is batting just .208 over seven games since the All-Star break, but he's also drawn eight walks in that span. Those on-base skills have helped him keep hold of the leadoff spot for the Giants, and he even picked up a steal Thursday, his first of the year. The slugger is likely miscast atop the order, but he hasn't hit consistently or for enough power to occupy a more natural spot in the middle of the order. Soler is slashing .224/.314/.393 with 11 home runs, 36 RBI, 50 runs scored and 20 doubles over 373 plate appearances.
