Royals will give Jorge Soler more time in Omaha, Dayton Moore says

The Royals are poised to exercise patience as outfielder Jorge Soler continues a rehab assignment at Class AAA Omaha.

Soler, a 25-year-old outfielder, is not expected to be activated Friday when the club opens a 10-game homestand against the Minnesota Twins, general manager Dayton Moore said.

“His rehab assignment runs through May 10,” Moore told The Star on Thursday. “And at this point in time, we fully expect to utilize that period of time for him to get some at-bats and get caught up.”

Soler began a minor-league rehab assignment last Friday, 26 days after sustaining a Grade 1 oblique strain during the final week of spring training.
