DETROIT \u2014 Kurt Suzuki is willing to accept what Jorge Soler can\u2019t do on the bases in exchange for what he can do in the batter\u2019s box.<\/p>\n

A day after Soler revealed that he can only run at 60%-70% because of a nagging groin injury, the Angels\u2019 manager shrugged at the suggestion that Soler could use some time off.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe just had a day off,\u201d Suzuki said. \u201cWe had a team day off (on Monday). He\u2019s swinging the bat fine. He\u2019s looking good. And he\u2019s in the lineup.\u201d<\/p>\n

Soler said through an interpreter Wednesday night that the \u201csoreness\u201d started \u201ca few days ago.\u201d On Thursday, Suzuki said it\u2019s just a normal ache for a player to withstand during a season.<\/p>\n

\u201cBaseball players, you go through a long season,\u201d Suzuki said. \u201cThere\u2019s always these things you go through. You battle through and do whatever you can to stay on the field.\u201d<\/p>\n

Soler, 34, was back in the cleanup spot at designated hitter Thursday, with a .215 average and .701 OPS. Soler was last out of the lineup May 21. He has exactly one hit in each of the past seven games he\u2019s started, although only one of those was an extra base hit.<\/p>\n

Soler\u2019s limited running ability burned the Angels in the second inning Wednesday night. He was at first when Wade Meckler hit a ground ball just in front of him. Soler had to stop so the ball wouldn\u2019t hit him, and then he was only jogging when he started toward second. Tigers second baseman Hao-Yu Lee bobbled the ball, but he was still able to force Soler at second because he was jogging.<\/p>\n

Had Soler been running a little faster in their 4-0 loss, he would have been safe and the Angels would have had runners at first and second with no outs.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cIt is what it is,\u201d Suzuki said. \u201cHe had to stop. Worst case is he started up and popped it or hurt it real bad. It\u2019s one of those things where it happened and you have to deal with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

POMERANZ RETURNS<\/h4>\n

Left-hander Drew Pomeranz was activated after missing the minimum 15 days with elbow inflammation. The Angels optioned left-hander Tayler Saucedo to make room.<\/p>\n

Pomeranz had allowed nine runs and three homers in seven innings over the nine games before he went on the injured list.<\/p>\n

Suzuki said Pomeranz has told him the time off has helped him feel better than before he went on the injured list.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re definitely excited to have him back,\u201d Suzuki said.<\/p>\n

NOTES<\/h4>\n

First baseman Nolan Schanuel said the MRI exam on his left ankle revealed tendinitis. He doesn\u2019t have a firm idea on the timeline for him to return after being placed on the injured list Wednesday. \u2026<\/p>\n

Travis d\u2019Arnaud is now able to \u201clightly\u201d walk, Suzuki said. D\u2019Arnaud (plantar fasciitis) had been unable to put weight on his foot when the Angels were at home, so the catcher was using a scooter to get around. \u2026<\/p>\n

Right-hander Ben Joyce is continuing to throw, but he\u2019s not yet on a mound, Suzuki said. Joyce (shoulder surgery) had his rehab slowed down when he was on the verge of returning.<\/p>\n
