Soler was optioned to Triple-A Omaha on Saturday.
Jorge Bonifacio has a pretty firm hold on the right field job, and the Royals don't need a DH for five National League games next week, so it made sense to send Soler down to get regular playing time at Triple-A. It didn't help that he was hitting just .164 with one home run and a 29.2 percent strikeout rate in 55 at-bats since coming off the DL on May 6. Billy Burns was recalled as a corresponding move.
