Soler initially was placed on the injured list on May 8 with a right shoulder strain but suffered a scare on Tuesday when he was struck in the head by one of his batted balls while taking batting practice in the cage before the Giants' loss to the Dodgers. Soler ended up being OK and returned to the lineup, batting leadoff, three days later.
Winn lands on the 15-day injured list with a right forearm strain, retroactive to May 15, while Black starts in place of rookie left-handed pitcher Kyle Harrison, who will receive another day of rest and is expected to pitch Saturday.
