Solis was released by the Padres on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Solis compiled a 3.57 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 28:8 K:BB in 22.2 innings with Triple-A El Paso before being cut loose. The veteran reliever will now look to latch on elsewhere as bullpen depth.

The Padres reassigned Solis to Triple-A El Paso, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Solis attended spring training with the Padres as a non-roster invitee but was unable to secure a spot with the big club when Opening Day arrived. Since he doesn't have a spot on the 40-man roster, Solis may struggle to earn an early promotion to the Padres even if he performs well at Triple-A.

Solis signed a minor-league contract with the Padres on Monday, Robert Murray of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Solis didn't spend a long time unemployed after being released by the Nationals on Saturday. He joins a team with a deep bullpen, though the Padres' left-handed relievers are thin with Brad Wieck battling cancer and Jose Castillo out at least two months with a flexor strain. Solis could win a job as the Padres' second lefty along with Aaron Loup.

Solis was released by the Nationals on Saturday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Solis was tendered a contract in November despite struggling heavily over the past two seasons, posting ERAs of 5.88 and 6.41. By releasing him Saturday, the Nationals only have to pay Solis one sixth of his salary.

Solis signed a one-year contract with Washington on Friday to avoid arbitration, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Solis appeared in 56 games for the Nationals in 2018, though he posted a disastrous 6.41 ERA and 1.55 WHIP while working in low-leverage spots. He will likely be able to pin down an Opening Day roster spot, as his 4.95 FIP and 44:18 K:BB across 39.1 innings should've led to better results this past season.

Solis was recalled by the Nationals on Friday, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Solis will take the bullpen spot previously occupied by Ryan Madson, who was sent to the Dodgers, but he'll presumably be working in a lower-leverage role. The 30-year-old has a 5.24 ERA in 34.1 innings with the Nationals this season. His solid 24.8 percent strikeout rate more or less cancels out an unimpressive 10.1 percent walk rate, leading to a palatable 4.38 FIP, but he's unlikely to be anywhere near the closer conversation any time soon.

Solis is not listed on the lineup card for Tuesday's game and has presumably been optioned to Triple-A Syracuse, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Solis gave up a go-ahead, three-run homer to Matt Carpenter on Monday, and afterward manager Dave Martinez made no attempt to hide his displeasure. "I don't know what else to do," Martinez said. "He's got to get lefties out." Matt Grace and Trevor Gott will be the left-handed options in the Nats' bullpen for the time being.

The Nationals recalled Solis from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
He'll assume the active roster spot of outfielder Brian Goodwin, who was dealt to the Royals on Sunday. Solis is expected to work in middle relief or as a mop-up man for the Nationals after posting a 4.50 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 28 innings in his 40 appearances with the big club earlier this season.

Solis was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Solis will make way to allow Jeremy Hellickson (hamstring) to return from the disabled list and start Saturday. The lefty has posted a mediocre 4.50 ERA in 28 innings for the Nationals this season.

Solis worked two scoreless frames in Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Mets, allowing only one hit while striking out five.
EDGE Analysis
The left-hander has been a strikeout machine to begin 2018, recording nine of his 11 outs through four appearances via the K. He remains buried in the bullpen mix at the moment, but with Brandon Kintzler struggling in the early going, Solis might find his way into a key setup role if he continues dominating -- a role that could potentially afford him an opportunity to rack up some holds.
