Braves' Nick Solak: Summoned from Triple-A
Atlanta recalled Solak from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.
Solak has bounced around to a few different organizations since the offseason, most recently landing with Atlanta last week via waivers. He'll give the club another utility option while Eli White is likely away from the team for the next three games while on the paternity list.

Braves' Nick Solak: Lands in Atlanta
Atlanta claimed Solak off waivers from the White Sox on Tuesday and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett.
Solak will now join his fourth organization in less than two months after his brief stint with the White Sox was preceded by stops with the Reds and Mariners. The 28-year-old showed promise during his first taste of MLB action back in 2019, but he's posted a rough .246/.317/.354 batting line in 839 big-league plate appearances since the beginning of the 2020 campaign.

White Sox's Nick Solak: Designated for assignment
Solak was designated for assignment by the White Sox on Sunday.
It's been a roller coaster of movement for Solak in 2023. He was claimed off waivers from the Mariners by the White Sox on Friday just a few weeks after Seattle traded for the outfielder from the Reds. If Solak goes unclaimed, he could report back to Charlotte.

White Sox's Nick Solak: Claimed by ChiSox
Solak was claimed off waivers by the White Sox on Friday and optioned to Triple-A Charlotte.
After being traded from Cincinnati to Seattle and then later DFA'd by the Mariners, Solak now joins his third organization in the last month. The 28-year-old outfielder will serve as organizational depth at the Triple-A level, where he currently holds a .371 OPS over 17 plate appearances.

Mariners' Nick Solak: Loses 40-man spot
Seattle designated Solak for assignment Monday.
Acquired from the Reds shortly before Opening Day, Solak has now been DFA'd for the second time in less than a month. Solak has gone 1-for-13 through his first four games at Triple-A Tacoma and will remain with the affiliate if he isn't claimed off waivers.

Reds' Nick Solak: Booted off 40-man roster
The Reds designated Solak for assignment Thursday.
Solak was a casualty of a series of roster moves ahead of the team's Opening Day game Thursday against the Pirates. The 28-year-old former top prospect has slashed just .246/.317/.354 in 839 major-league plate appearances since the beginning of the 2020 season.

Mariners' Nick Solak: Traded to Seattle
Solak was acquired by the Mariners in a trade with the Reds on Friday for cash considerations, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
He'll report to Triple-A Tacoma. Solak was designated for assignment Thursday, and he finds a new home a day later. The 28-year-old showed promise with the bat early in his career, but he's struggled to the tun of a .246/.317/.354 slash in 839 plate appearances since 2020. He provides Seattle with some depth as a player who can play both in the infield and outfield.

Reds' Nick Solak: Reassigned to minor-league camp
Solak was reassigned to minor-league spring training Saturday.
Solak was acquired for cash considerations in November, but any hopes of him duplicating Brandon Drury's success from last season seems to have gone out the window with this move. Solak's career .252/.327/.372 slash line isn't good but is far from terrible, so if he does get a run of games for the Reds at some point, he could have fantasy value in at least deeper leagues. The fact that the Reds -- who don't exactly possess a roster packed with proven talent -- took him out of Opening Day consideration with nearly three weeks to go suggests his stock is quite low right now.

Reds' Nick Solak: In lineup Sunday
Solak (foot) is starting in left field and batting seventh in Sunday's spring game against the Giants, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
Solak ended last season on the injured list with a fractured right foot but is good to go early in spring training. The 28-year-old was acquired by the Reds from the Rangers in November and will compete for a utility role in camp.

Reds' Nick Solak: Traded to Cincinnati
Solak (foot) was acquired by the Reds from the Rangers on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations.
Solak appeared in only 35 games for the Rangers in 2022 before he suffered a fractured right foot in September. He has a .246/.317/.354 slash line in 749 plate appearances across the past three seasons and should compete for a utility role with Cincinnati during spring training.

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

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

Rangers' Nick Solak: 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.
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.

Rangers' Nick Solak: Makes first start since callup
Solak started at designated hitter and went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to Houston.
Solak was added to the roster as part of the September roster expansion last week but hadn't appeared in a game until Wednesday. He's been given chances to stick with the major-league roster the last few seasons, including 127 games in 2021, but it appears Solak's window is closing. The Rangers are looking at prospects younger than the 27-year-old Solak, who could latch on as a utility player in 2023.

Rangers' Nick Solak: Added to active roster
Solak was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday.
Solak was sent to Round Rock in early August, and he slashed .260/.365/.521 with five home runs, four doubles, 16 RBI, 15 runs and two stolen bases over 18 minor-league games following his demotion. Since active rosters expanded to 28 players Thursday, Solak will rejoin the big-league club to provide additional depth.

Rangers' Nick Solak: Sent to Triple-A
Solak was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.
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.

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

Rangers' Nick Solak: Starting at DH
Solak is starting at designated hitter and batting eighth Wednesday versus the Mariners.
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 and 11 runs over 70 at-bats in 28 games.

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