Soler was only on the injured list for a short time after suffering a minor oblique strain. This season, the 31-year-old has hit 35 home runs in 532 plate appearances.
Instead, Dane Myers returned to Triple-A Jacksonville. The 27-year-old hit .269/.286/.358 in 70 plate appearances with the club Big leagues this season.
Another important step was the activation of the Cuban-American starter Chi Chi Gonzalez. González returns to the Marlins’ active roster after being claimed off waivers earlier this season.

The lefty from Miami, Jesus Luzardo, will be the starter of this Sunday’s game. His team is 17-12 when he opens, but last Monday, in his last start, Marlins they lost 12-0 against Milwaukee Brewers.
Luzardo He allowed a season-high 10 hits and six earned runs, his second-highest total of the year. The left-hander (9-9, 3.82 ERA) will be looking for that change at home this Sunday as he looks for a three-game win Bravos.
