NICK SOLAK NEWS

Traded to Cincinnati Solak (foot) was acquired by the Reds from the Rangers on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations.

Shifts to 60-day IL Solak (foot) was placed on the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact The 27-year-old will miss the rest of the season after he suffered a fractured right foot last week, and the Rangers have moved him to the 60-day IL to free up a spot on the 40-man roster for Kevin Plawecki, who signed with Texas on Wednesday. Solak played in 35 big-league games this year and finished with a .207/.309/.329 slash line, three home runs and three stolen bases.

Done for season Solak is done for the season due to a right foot fracture, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact A roster move will come Tuesday. Solak, 27, has been at least 10 percent worse than a league average hitter in each of the last three seasons, which is a problem given the fact that he is supposed to be a bat-first player. He will look to stick with the Rangers organization as a bench piece, but it would not be surprising if he were traded or cast off the 40-man roster this offseason.

In walking boot Solak remains in a walking boot after getting hit in the foot by a pitch Wednesday against Oakland, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact The Rangers reportedly aren't yet sure if Solak's foot is broken. If it is, his season would be over. His absence isn't a big loss for the Rangers, however, as he's started just once since returning to the big leagues at the beginning of September.

Sent to Triple-A Solak was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Impact Solak was called up by Texas in mid-July and went 2-for-10 with a solo home run and a walk in seven games. The 27-year-old has a .208/.299/.338 slash line in 88 plate appearances this year. Brad Miller (neck) was activated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Launches pinch-hit HR Solak went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Orioles.

Impact Solak entered as a pinch hitter and finished off the scoring with a ninth-inning blast, his third homer of the season -- he has 11 in the minors. The right-hitting utility player has been used sparingly since being called up at the All-Star break, making a couple of starts against lefties and also serving as a pinch hitter. In both of his starts, Solak has been replaced for a pinch hitter.

Starting at DH Solak is starting at designated hitter and batting eighth Wednesday versus the Mariners.

Impact Solak will start for the first time since being recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on July 17. The 27-year-old has fallen out of favor with the Rangers in 2022, producing a .200 average with two homers, three RBI, 11 runs over 70 at-bats in 28 games.

Summoned from minors The Rangers recalled Solak from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

Impact Solak isn't included in the lineup for Sunday's series finale with the Mariners and will likely function as a short-side platoon option off the bench while he's up with Texas. In 75 plate appearances for the Rangers this season, Solak has slashed .209/.293/.313 with a 22.7 percent strikeout rate.
