Solak and the Padres agreed on a minor-league contract Sunday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Jun 28Rotowire

Solak briefly tested the free-agency waters after being designated for assignment by the Padres on June 21 and then clearing waivers, but he'll now return to the organization. The 31-year-old will report to Triple-A El Paso.

Solak elected to become a free agent Thursday.

Jun 26Rotowire

Solak cleared waivers after being booted off the Padres' 40-man roster. He'll become a free agent instead of accepting an assignment to the minors, though the utility player might have to settle for a minor-league contract anyway.

The Padres designated Solak for assignment Sunday.

Jun 21Rotowire

San Diego dropped Solak from the 40-man roster to open up a spot for Miguel Andujar (hamstring), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Called up from Triple-A El Paso after Andujar landed on the IL on June 13, Solak appeared in four games and went 1-for-7 with a walk and an RBI during his one-week stay with San Diego.

The Padres selected Solak's contract from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

Jun 13Rotowire

Solak failed to break camp with the Padres but has been impressive at Triple-A, slashing .333/.412/.512 with nine homers, 40 RBI and 51 runs scored across 241 plate appearances. He'll now join the major-league roster following Miguel Andujar's (hamstring) move to the IL and could make an occasional start for San Diego, thanks to his defensive versatility.

The Padres reassigned Solak to minor-league camp Saturday.

Mar 22Rotowire

Solak is expected to open the season at Triple-A El Paso after failing to win a utility role on the Padres' Opening Day roster. The 31-year-old saw his first big-league action since 2022 last season with the Pirates, appearing in four games and going 1-for-11 at the plate.
