Jhonatan Solano (born August 12, 1985) is a Colombian professional baseball catcher for the Washington Nationals of Major League Baseball.

Career

Solano signed with the Washington Nationals as an international free agent in 2006. He spent the next six seasons working his way up the Nationals' farm system. After spending the 2011 season with the Syracuse Chiefs, the Nationals added Solano to their 40 man roster after the season to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.

On May 29, 2012, Solano was called up to the majors by the Nationals after Wilson Ramos tore his ACL and could miss the rest of the 2012 season. On that same day, Solano got his first major league hit, a double, on his first at bat against his brother Donovan's team, the Miami Marlins. About two weeks later, on June 12, 2012, he hit the first home run of his major league career against the Toronto Blue Jays^[1]

On July 19, 2012, the Nationals placed Solano on the 15-day disabled list with an oblique injury.

The Nationals recalled Solano from the Triple-A Syracuse Chiefs on May 16, 2013 when Ramos went on the disabled list.^[2]

Personal

His brother, Donovan Solano, plays for the Miami Marlins and also made his debut in 2012. He attended high school at Colegio Americano de Barranquilla in Barranquilla, Colombia.
