Soler is out of the lineup Sunday against the Indians, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.
Soler will hit the bench for a fifth consecutive game, signaling that he's no longer being viewed as the Royals' primary right fielder. Jorge Bonifacio has since assumed those duties and has gone on a power binge with four homers and nine RBI over his past eight contests. Unless Bonifacio rapidly cools, Soler, who is batting just .157 on the season, may need an injury to hit the outfield before he starts seeing regular at-bats again.
