Soler will be out at least five days and must receive clearance from MLB's joint COVID-19 committee before the Braves can add him to their roster, according to The Athletic's David O'Brien.
The 29-year-old helped Atlanta win the NL East title, slashing .269/.358/.524 with 14 homers over 55 games after getting dealt by the Kansas City Royals at the trade deadline.
