Slated to face hitters Soria (finger) will throw live batting practice Monday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Soria didn't experience any issues following Friday's bullpen session, so he'll face hitters Monday for the first time since he was placed on the injured list Aug. 4. If the right-hander feels good following Monday's throwing session, the Blue Jays are hopeful that he'll be able to be activated shortly after without requiring a rehab assignment.

Throws bullpen Friday Soria (finger) threw a bullpen session Friday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Soria landed on the injured list Aug. 4 with inflammation in his right middle finger. The veteran right-hander hander resumed throwing last week, and he's now progressed to mound work. It's possible that he'll be activated later this weekend so long as he comes out of Friday's session with no problems. Soria figures to be given plenty of high-leverage opportunities after being reinstated.

Nearing return Soria (finger) has resumed throwing and could be activated during the upcoming homestand that begins Friday against Detroit, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Soria is pain-free and nearing activation. He currently sports a streak of five straight scoreless innings with eight strikeouts and three saves over that stretch. Jordan Romano has been working as Toronto's closer, but he doesn't have a firm grip on that job. Regardless of his role, Soria should work in high-leverage spots once healthy.

Lands on injured list Soria was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with right middle finger inflammation.

Impact The veteran right-hander was acquired from the Diamondbacks on Friday and debuted for the Blue Jays on Monday, but he's dealing with a finger issue after debuting with his new team. It's unclear how long Soria is expected to be sidelined, though he won't be eligible to be activated until Aug. 13 in Seattle.

JULY 30, 2021 • MLB.COM

Heading to Toronto Soria was traded from the Diamondbacks to the Blue Jays on Friday for two players to be named later, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Soria didn't allow a run in 13 of his past 15 appearances for Arizona and posted a 2.51 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 18:3 K:BB while recording six saves during that stretch. The veteran right-hander should have a high-leverage role for Toronto, though he'll lose most of his fantasy relevance with Brad Hand and Jordan Romano set to compete for saves.

Twins trade 2-time All-Star pitcher José Berríos to Toronto

The playoff-chasing Toronto Blue Jays won the pursuit for two-time All-Star pitcher José Berríos

JULY 30, 2021 • Associated Press

Enters in eighth inning Soria allowed one hit and struck out two over a scoreless eighth inning to pick up his third hold in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.

Impact Soria has been the Diamondbacks' closer since the end of June, but manager Torey Lovullo brought him in to hold a lead for Tyler Clippard, who eventually picked up his first save since 2018. Soria's days as a closer this season appeared to be numbered, as the Diamondbacks are expected to trade the 37-year-old within the next few days, but it was odd to see him used in anything but the closer's role. He faced the top of the Rangers' order, which probably factored into the decision.

JULY 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Locks down sixth save Soria pitched a perfect inning with one strikeout to earn the save in Wednesday's 6-4 win over Pittsburgh.

Impact Soria has logged five saves in his last six appearances, and all six of his saves have come in nine July outings. The veteran reliever hasn't been all that steady this year with a 4.45 ERA and 1.34 WHIP, but he's only given up three runs in his last nine innings, and they all came in one appearance. He appears to be Arizona's top closing option for now, but Tyler Clippard logged a scoreless inning Wednesday in his return from a shoulder strain. He could ultimately challenge Soria for the ninth-inning role.

Saves another Soria allowed two hits and struck out two over a scoreless ninth inning to pick up his fifth save in Monday's 4-2 win over Pittsburgh.

Impact The Diamondbacks' starting staff have come around since the All-Star game, which has presented Soria with three consecutive save opportunities. He blew one of them spectacularly against the Cubs on Saturday but converted saves Sunday and Monday. Fantasy owners should enjoy this run, because Soria will likely be moved by the trade deadline to a team looking at him as experienced arm out of the bullpen, and not a closer.
