The Mariners plan to deploy Solano mostly at first base, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Solano could also be used some at third base, but he appears likely to see most of his action at first base as the short side of a platoon with Luke Raley. Seattle does not intend to use Solano at second base, per Kramer. The 37-year-old Solano slashed .286/.343/.417 with a career-high eight home runs over 96 regular-season contests for the Padres in 2024.
Donovan Solano Sitting out Wednesday
Solano is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Cleveland.
Analysis: Solano manned first base for the first two games of the series and went 3-for-11 with a double, a triple, three RBI and a run scored, but he'll get a breather for the day game after a night game. Edouard Julien will cover first base for the Twins in the series finale.
