Solarte went 2-for-4 with a double, a pair of RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's spring training win over the White Sox.

Solarte's bat finally woke up after starting Cactus League action in a 1-for-15 slump. He has already locked down an everyday role with the club, so there isn't much for him to prove during exhibition play. The 28-year-old put up career numbers as the Padres starting third baseman last year, slashing .286/.341/.467 with 15 homers and 71 RBI in 443 plate appearances. He could have sneaky mixed-league value if he can repeat last year's success while receiving north of 550 plate appearances.
