Padres Activate Miguel Andujar, DFA Nick Solak

The San Diego Padres activated outfielder Miguel Andujar from the 10-day injured list and designated Nick Solak for assignment, according to the club's official MLB transaction log.

The move was listed by MLB.com on June 21, 2026, and it reverses part of the roster sequence San Diego made eight days earlier. The same Padres transaction page shows Andujar was placed on the injured list on June 13 with a left hamstring strain, when Solak's contract was selected from Triple-A El Paso.

Andujar Returns From Hamstring IL

San Diego's official transaction wording keeps the verified injury detail narrow: Andujar was on the 10-day IL because of a left hamstring strain, and he is now back on the active roster. It does not list a rehab assignment, playing-time plan or restriction.

That matters because this is a roster move, not an injury forecast. The Padres get a right-handed outfield bat back without having to attach any timetable claims beyond the activation itself.

The June 13 and June 21 entries also make the timing clear. Andujar missed a little more than the minimum 10-day IL window, while San Diego used Solak as the corresponding roster addition during the short absence.

Solak Loses Padres Roster Spot

Solak is the roster cost of Andujar's return. MLB.com lists him as designated for assignment on June 21 after the Padres had selected his contract from El Paso on June 13.

The DFA gives San Diego the standard window to trade Solak, put him on waivers or outright him if he clears. The official log does not say which path the Padres will take.

The verified sequence is compact but useful: Andujar is active again after a left hamstring strain, Solak's brief stay on the Padres roster has ended for now, and San Diego has reset the spot it opened when the injury first hit.
