2023 Fantasy Outlook
Solano spent the 2022 campaign with the Reds after spending the three previous seasons with the Giants, and the 35-year-old slashed .284/.339/.385 with four homers and 24 RBI over 304 plate appearances. The right-handed-hitting infielder has shown the ability to hit for average with a .301 clip over the last four seasons, but he's homered just 18 times over 316 games in that timeframe while stealing just two bases. Solano should be a utility option for the Twins that sees time all over the infield, particularly against left-handed pitching, but he profiles as a one-category player for the 2023 season.

Gets fifth straight start
Solano will start at first base and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Rays.
ANALYSIS
Solano will stick in the lineup for the fifth consecutive game, with the 35-year-old picking up three starts at first base and two at designated hitter during that stretch. While both Joey Gallo (hamstring) and Byron Buxton (rib) are on the 10-day injured list, Solano and Willi Castro could both have paths to steady playing time versus both left- and right-handed pitching.

Solano turned in solid production at the dish for San Francisco in 2020, finishing the year with a .326/.365/.463 slash line to go with three homers and 29 RBI across 54 contests. The second baseman has been locked in over the last two seasons, however, he's yet to show that he can hit above .300 for an entire big-league season. Nonetheless, he's finding success against both right and left-handed pitching, hitting .315 against right-handers (140 plate appearances) and .356 against southpaws in 2020 (62 plate appearances). The 33-year-old isn't likely to bring much power to your fantasy team -- he's hit 16 career home runs -- but he boasts quality contact skills, and he should see plenty of chances to drive in runs hitting in the heart of San Francisco's lineup.
