Fantasy Impact
Texas needed to make room for Mitch Garver, who was activated from the 10-day IL, but it was surprising to see Solak optioned to the minors. The 27-year-old was struggling, slashing just .209/.293/.313, but he was coming off an 11-homer, seven-steal year. Even if he eventually returns to the big club, there's no reason to stash Solak given his limited upside, as there are better ways to occupy a bench spot.
