ATLANTA (AP) — The Los Angeles Angels activated outfielder Jorge Soler from the injured list before Tuesday night's game against the Atlanta Braves.
Soler quickly delivered for the Angels with a two-run double in a four-run eighth inning as Los Angeles beat the Braves 4-0.
“What he does for the lineup, having his presence, lengthening the lineup, the quality at-bat he gave us, it's great,” Angels interim manager Ray Montgomery said.
Also Tuesday, the Braves acquired right-hander Hunter Stratton from the Pittsburgh Pirates for outfielder Titus Dumitru and cash. Stratton was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett.
