José Soriano

Soriano retired the side in order in the first inning, but in the second inning he was taken deep by Eugenio Suárez, giving the Reds their first run of the day. It would be the only run Soriano would allow in the inning, but in the top of the third, the Reds would put four more runs on the board, jumping out to a 5-2 lead on the righty. Soriano would make it out of the inning but did not return in the fourth, bringing an end to his 2026 campaign. A hot start to the season quickly fizzled out for Soriano, who was acquired at the trade deadline by the Jays. He went 3-2 in 10 starts with the Jays while posting a 5.30 ERA.

Soriano gave up four hits, walked one and struck out eight. He fell to 12-8 with the loss. Soriano has a 4.73 ERA in nine starts since joining the Blue Jays. After posting a 1.66 ERA in his first nine starts of the season, he has a 3.72 ERA on the year. Soriano is lined up to face the Reds at home next weekend.

Soriano gave up five hits, walked one and struck out five. He had a no-hitter through six innings, but ran into trouble in the seventh with five Tigers hits leading to four runs. Soriano is 3-1 with a 4.27 ERA and 32 strikeouts in 46 1/3 innings over eight starts since joining the Blue Jays. He’s lined up to face the Rangers on the road on Sunday.

Soriano held the A’s scoreless through three innings until Carlos Cortes took him deep for a solo blast in the fourth. After two more scoreless innings, Donovan Walton took him deep for a solo homer in the seventh. Soriano would complete the seventh with just the two runs allowed while striking out three. The 27-year-old right-hander will take a 3.48 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, and a 154/71 K/BB ratio across 163 innings into a start against the Orioles in Toronto on Sunday.

John Schneider gave Soriano the hook after he labored through 98 pitches. Mason Fluharty came on and allowed a walk and a two-RBI single to score both of Soriano’s inherited runners. It appears that once again, all relievers are bad. Soriano didn’t exactly deserve the win with how he pitched today and now has a 4.36 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in six starts for the Jays since coming over from the Angels at the trade deadline. He’s got a date with the West Sacramento bandbox next week that anyone not desperate for wins probably can avoid.

Soriano retired the first four batters before Cal Raleigh took him deep for a solo homer in the second inning. The Mariners would put two more runs on the board in the fourth after Soriano loaded the bases with a pair of walks, with Taylor Ward driving in two with a base hit. The 27-year-old right-hander settled in for three more scoreless innings, ending his day after seven with six strikeouts and in line for a win. Soriano will take a 3.45 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, and a 149/67 K/BB ratio across 151 1/3 innings into a start against the Guardians in Cleveland on Thursday.

Soriano struck out seven but posted his worst ratios since joining the Blue Jays. In his fourth start with his new team, constant traffic was an issue despite New York missing Aaron Judge and struggling lately. It might take a full offseason with the organization for any arsenal changes or mechanical plans to take shape. Soriano will draw the Mariners at home next time out.

Soriano gave up nine hits, walked none and struck out two. He improved to 10-6 with the win. Soriano was able to get by while allowing nine hits because all of the hits were singles, he didn’t walk a single batter and he was able to pitch out of jams. He has a 3.23 ERA. Soriano is lined up to face the Yankees on the road on Sunday.

Soriano gave up four hits, walked two and struck out four. The 27-year-old right-hander had a 1.66 ERA in his first nine starts of the year, but has a 4.21 ERA in 15 starts since then. Toronto thinks they can unlock more from Soriano and the results have been pretty good as he’s allowed two earned runs in 10 2/3 innings in his first two starts for the Blue Jays. Soriano is lined up to face the Rays on the road next week.

The 27-year-old right-hander also issued three walks while striking out three batters in the contest. The Phillies pushed a run across on an error by Jesus Sanchez in the second inning, then Bryce Harper added an RBI single in the third. Soriano wasn’t very economical though and needed 94 pitches (62 strikes) to record 14 outs. He got 18 swings and misses on the night — 12 of those on his knuckle curve — while posting a solid CSW of 31 percent. He’ll try to get back in the win column as he brings a 3.24 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and a 130/60 K/BB ratio (127 2/3 innings) into Thursday’s showdown against the Red Sox.

Soriano takes the ball for Friday’s contest at historic Wrigley Field with the Blue Jays moving to a six-man rotation. The 27-year-old was one of the biggest names to move at the trade deadline, heading north of the border in a four-player swap. He’s posted a strong 3.29 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 127/57 K/BB ratio across 123 innings over 22 starts so far this year. This will be his first outing since July 26.

Soriano will bring a 3.29 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and 25 percent strikeout rate to the Blue Jays rotation for the next two-plus seasons. While we wouldn’t expect major changes for him in 2026, this is a nice landing spot for him going forward because the Blue Jays have become a solid pitching development organization that should get the most out of his plus secondaries but inconsistent fastballs. Soriano was originally scheduled to start on Tuesday for the Angels, but we would imagine the Blue Jays would want to give him a little more time with his new team before putting him out on the mound.

This is an interesting pivot for the Blue Jays after trading Kevin Gausman to the Cubs yesterday. Toronto still clearly views itself as a contender in 2027 and beyond, so they replace Gausman with Soriano, who is under team control for two more seasons after this one. Soriano has regressed since his hot start to the season, and his reliance on a mediocre four-seam fastball led to far too many home runs; however, he has a good collection of secondary pitches, and this is a Toronto organization that has gotten the best production out of Dylan Cease by tweaking his changeup. This is a nice landing spot for Soriano, but the Angels get a solid return here, headlined by Arjun Nimalla, a 20-year-old shortstop who is the 43rd-ranked prospect in baseball, according to MLB Pipeline.

Angels interim general manager John Mozeliak said in a team statement that Soriano won’t pitch this weekend due to the uncertainty of the next 48 hours leading up to Monday’s trade deadline. That doesn’t mean that a trade is imminent, but the club doesn’t want to take any chances. The 27-year-old righty has been the subject of plenty of trade rumors recently and it appears that Los Angeles will consider moving him for the right price. He’s in the midst of the strongest season of his career with a solid 3.29 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 127/57 K/BB ratio across 123 innings over 22 starts.

Soriano gave up three hits, walked three and struck out five. The run came in the fifth after a miscue on what should have been an inning-ending double play. Soriano has rebounded nicely with a 2.74 ERA in four starts this month. He’s due to make his next start at home against Milwaukee.

Although he was hit fairly hard — nine of the 17 balls in play against him topped 101 mph — Soriano struck out seven in his longest and probably best outing since May 10 against the Blue Jays. Since that game, he’d had a 5.24 ERA and a 54/33 K/BB in 56 2/3 innings over 11 outings. Soriano will likely make his next start Sunday against the Giants. There’s a chance that could be his last with the Angels, though Reid Detmers remains the better bet to be traded.

Soriano tossed a scoreless first inning, then gave up two runs on two walks and a hit in the second. He settled in for four more scoreless frames, giving up just one more hit the rest of the way before departing after six innings with four strikeouts. The 27-year-old right-hander ends the day with a 3.40 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, and a 115/51 K/BB ratio across 106 innings. He’ll take on the Twins in Minnesota on Sunday.

Soriano cruised through five scoreless innings before running into trouble in the sixth. Seattle started the inning with three straight hits to bring home a run, knocking Soriano from the game at 91 pitches. Both inherited runners would come in to score. He generated 16 whiffs to collect nine strikeouts. The 27-year-old right-hander will take a 3.42 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, and a 111/49 K/BB ratio across 100 innings into a start against the Rangers in Texas next Tuesday.

Samuel Basallo did most of the damage, hitting two-run homers in both the second and third innings. Soriano allowed four other hits, walked two and struck out four. His average fastball today came in at 96.0 mph, making this the third time in four starts that he’s come in down about 1.5 mph from his season average. He was back up to 97.0 mph in his last outing against the A’s, but that was his best mark in June. He averaged 97.7 mph in April and May. Given that he was struggling some even before the velocity hit, he can be considered droppable in shallow leagues. He has a 5.20 ERA and a 53/32 K/BB in 52 1/3 innings since the beginning of May.

Soriano allowed six hits, walked four and struck out six. The right-hander exited with a 10-4 lead, but the Angels bullpen — unsurprisingly — collapsed to prevent a win. It’s probably a fair result, all things considered. Soriano was dominant in April with a 0.84 ERA. Since then, he’s been an average at best fantasy option. He’ll try and get things going again versus Baltimore on Wednesday at home.
