Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler went down with a hamstring strain on Wednesday, and though he had hoped for a return this weekend, skipper Brian Snitker reported that it is improbable. He will hit the field today to do some running, but his name appearing on the lineup card is not likely.
#Braves’ Snitker said doubtful Soler plays this weekend. Plan is to have him run around some Saturday on the field to test the hamstring.

Soler caught a huge break with just a mild hamstring strain and fortunately avoided a stint on the injured list. Assuming his hamstring does well today, he should be back in time for the upcoming homestand.
