The Los Angeles Angels activated outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler from the suspended ​list on Sunday and ‌put him in the cleanup spot of the lineup for the series finale against the San ‌Diego ​Padres.

Soler was given ⁠an original seven-game ⁠suspension for an on-field fight with former Atlanta Braves teammate Reynaldo Lopez on April ​7. Soler appealed the suspension, and it was ⁠reduced to four ⁠games, while the Angels ​were in New York last ​week.

Soler, 34, is batting .231 with ‌five home runs and 18 RBIs in 18 games for the Angels this season.

In ⁠13 major league seasons, Soler is a career .240 hitter with 208 ⁠home ‌runs and 568 RBIs ⁠over 1,112 games for ​the ‌Chicago Cubs (2014-16), Kansas City ​Royals (2017-21), ⁠Atlanta Braves (2021, 2024), Miami Marlins (2022-23), San Francisco Giants (2024) and Angels.

Lopez had his own seven-game suspension reduced to five games.
