Jorge Soler to Rejoin Braves Lineup Friday

Jorge Soler is set to return to the Atlanta Braves' lineup on Friday against the Nationals after recovering from a left hamstring injury. Soler, who has a .969 OPS with four home runs in 15 games for Atlanta, had been sidelined since August 14 but made pinch-hitting appearances during his recovery. Manager Brian Snitker confirmed Soler has been running the bases and hitting, and the player himself expressed optimism about his return. Meanwhile, Mets pitcher Dedniel Nunez is expected to be activated from the injured list on Friday after a successful rehab appearance with Triple-A Syracuse.
