Gregory Soto - Page 15 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Implodes in loss Soto (4-3) allowed six runs (five earned) while recording just two outs to take the loss Tuesday against the Angels. He gave up four hits and two walks while striking out one.

Impact It was a horrendous outing for Soto, who gave up two home runs and saw his ERA climb from 2.79 to 3.67 in the process. The lefty had only allowed two or more earned runs four times in 50 appearances this season before Tuesday, and the Tigers will hope this is a blip on the radar than a sign of things to come. Soto leads the team with 15 saves and should stick in a prominent bullpen role, but it would be encouraging to see him string together a few clean outings to get back in a positive groove.

Gets out of trouble to nab save Soto worked around a hit and a walk to pitch a scoreless ninth inning and earn the save Wednesday against the Orioles.

Impact Soto allowed a leadoff single and a two-out walk, but the lefty was staked to a somewhat comfortable 5-2 lead and was able to close things out without any damage. The lefty now has a team-high 14 saves in 15 chances this season and should continue to lead the way in the Detroit bullpen. Right-handed options Michael Fulmer and Jose Cisnero should continue to see some save opportunities depending on matchups, but Soto is the best fantasy asset of the bunch right now.

Escapes with 13th save Soto allowed one earned run on two hits while striking out two in his one inning of work Saturday, eking out his 13th save of the season in Detroit's 2-1 win over Cleveland.

Impact Soto inherited a 2-0 lead to start the ninth but quickly saw that advantage halved when Wilson Ramos led the inning off with a solo homer. The collective blood pressure of the Detroit dugout rose again when the next batter, Owen Miller, dropped in a base hit. However, Soto recovered to strike out two of the final three batters he'd face to secure his 13th save. While this might not have been the most convincing outing, Soto hasn't blown a save since July 11.

Picks up 12th save Soto allowed one hit while striking out two Tuesday, closing out the Tigers' 4-2 win over the Red Sox for his 12th save of the season.

Impact Soto allowed a two-out single to Jarren Duran and nothing more Tuesday night, as he struck out Rafael Devers to earn his 12th save of the season. After a couple of tough outings to close out July, the left-hander's August has gotten off to a much better start.

Struggles with control in loss Soto (4-2) took the loss Monday as the Tigers were downed 6-5 by the Twins, giving up an unearned run on one hit and four walks over 1.2 innings. He struck out three.

Impact The southpaw barely escaped the ninth inning in a tie game, walking the bases loaded before striking out Willians Astudillo to escape the jam. Soto's luck didn't hold in the 10th, as a Max Kepler walkoff single brought home the phantom runner. The four free passes equaled his total from his prior 12 appearances combined, a stretch during which he'd posted a 2.70 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 18:4 K:BB through 13.1 innings while converting six of seven save chances, so there's currently no reason to be concerned about his place in the closer mix.

Records another save Thursday Soto pitched a clean ninth inning to record the save in Thursday's win over the Rangers. He walked one and struck out two.

Impact Soto registered a save for the third straight day, bringing him to 11 for the season. The Tigers have now won seven straight games coming out of the All-Star break, and Soto has benefitted, as he has saves in four of those seven victories. Michael Fulmer (neck) began a rehab assignment Thursday and should be back soon, but Soto should still see plenty of save chances the rest of the way, making him a useful fantasy asset.

Secures 10th save Soto worked around a hit to pitch a clean ninth inning and record the save in Wednesday's win over the Rangers.

Impact Soto has had a few hiccups this month, as he came into Wednesday's appearance having allowed four runs in five July innings, and he was a bit rocky in this one, as he hit a batter and committed a balk in addition to allowing a hit. However, he was able to escape trouble to record his team-leading 10th save of the season. The lefty has managed a solid 2.77 ERA with 46 strikeouts in 39 innings this year. Soto should remain a top option for saves in Detroit, though Michael Fulmer (neck) is set to begin a rehab assignment on Thursday and figures to get some ninth inning chances when he's able to return to the MLB roster.

Notches ninth save Soto picked up his ninth save of the season Tuesday night, as he worked a perfect ninth inning in the Tigers' 4-1 win over the Rangers.

Impact Soto made quick work of his assignment Tuesday night, striking out the side on just 13 pitches. The left-hander even touched triple digits on a a sinker that Adolis Garcia managed to foul off. With the Tigers' next three series coming against the Royals, Twins and Orioles (as well as two more against the Rangers), expect Soto to get some more save opportunities.

Picks up eighth save Soto tossed a perfect seventh inning to earn the save in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Twins.

Impact Soto was charged with a blown save Sunday during his final appearance prior to the All-Star break, but he began the second half of the year on a high note with his eighth save of the season. The southpaw didn't strike out any batters during his perfect inning, but he's now posted a 2.92 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 37 innings across 39 appearances in 2021.
