Struggling Soler adds Minors games to prep work

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- If Royals outfielder Jorge Soler doesn't find his timing at the plate soon, it won't be for lack of effort.

When Soler hasn't been playing in Cactus League games lately, he has been getting at-bats in games in the Royals' Minor League camp.

Soler, who is hitting .140 through 43 at-bats this spring, played in Minors games last weekend and was scheduled to do so again Wednesday.

"He's just not comfortable with his timing," manager Ned Yost said. "His swing looks fine to me. It's just timing on the breaking ball.
