Still slowed by shoulder injury
Solometo was pulled off his rehab assignment with Single-A Bradenton in late June after he experienced recurrent shoulder discomfort, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Analysis
After allowing just one run over 10 innings in his first two starts of the season for Double-A Altoona, Solometo was placed on the 7-day injured list due to shoulder soreness. He was later transferred to the 60-day IL, but he appeared on track to rejoin the Altoona rotation shortly before the All-Star break after he was cleared to join Bradenton for a rehab assignment June 18. However, after being roughed up for three runs (two earned) while retiring just two batters in his lone start with Bradenton, Solometo was pulled off the assignment and now remains without a clear timeline to resume pitching. Once regarded as one of the more promising pitching prospects in the Pittsburgh system, Solometo struggled mightily at the Double-A level in 2024, and his persistent shoulder problems this season have his arrow trending down even further.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Solometo, a 6-foot-5 lefty whose delivery elicits Madison Bumgarner comps, had an excellent 2023 season while splitting time between High-A and Double-A. He registered a 3.26 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 118 strikeouts in 110.1 innings while making 24 starts. Solometo was slightly more successful at High-A than at Double-A, although he did trim his walk rate from 10.7 percent to 6.5 percent against more advanced competition. His low-90s fastball plays up as a plus pitch due to his deceptive delivery, and his slider is a devastating mid-80s offering. Solometo's changeup is also solid, and he showed starter-level command at Double-A as a 20-year-old. He should spend the bulk of the year at Triple-A and could join the big-league rotation in late 2024 or early 2025.
