3B/2B Yangervis Solarte's three-run homer Monday night was his fourth in 11 games. Solarte, who was out from April 9 to May 21 with a hamstring strain, is hitting .378 (17-for-45) with 11 RBIs over his past 13 games.

2B Yangervis Solarte has three homers this season, all in the last two games, after hitting one from each side of the plate Friday. Both homers came on changeups. Solarte was playing his sixth game since returning from a six-week stay on the disabled list because of a hamstring injury. "Watching games from home is not nice, it's not fun," Solarte said through an interpreter. "It's good to be back." Solarte hit a solo homer right-handed in a four-run fifth inning and hit a three-run homer left-handed that hugged the foul pole down the right-field line in a four-run sixth. "I'm getting my timing back," Solarte said. "I just want to help the team."

3B Yangervis Solarte caught a break Wednesday when San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy elected to keep LHP Josh Osich in the game to face him with a runner aboard in a 3-1 game in the eighth inning. The switch-hitter, who began the day hitting .375 against lefties, added to his impressive numbers with a two-run home run that tied the game. The homer was his first of the season. Solarte, who entered the game hitting just .190 against right-handers, struck out with the potential go-ahead run at third base in the 10th inning after Bochy brought in RHP George Kontos to face him.

3B Yangervis Solarte was activated from the 15-day disabled list on Saturday. Solarte had been sidelined since April 10 with a right hamstring strain. He was 5-for-7 with a double, two triples, two RBIs and three runs scored in two rehab starts for Triple-A El Paso. Padres manager Andy Green said Solarte will play second as well as third because he wants to keep the bat of 3B Brett Wallace in the lineup. Solarte entered Saturday night's game as a pinch-hitter in the seventh and drew the winning walk-off walk in the 11th.
