Angels naming Jose Soriano Opening Day start could hint at bigger shift The Los Angeles Angels have named Jose Soriano their Opening Day starting pitcher, a potential sign of a larger organizational shift.

MARCH 19 • HALOHANGOUT.COM

Named Opening Day starter The Angels announced Tuesday that Soriano will start Los Angeles' March 26 season opener against the Astros in Houston.

Impact It will be Soriano's first career nod on Opening Day. The 27-year-old made 31 starts for the Halos last season, turning in a 10-11 record, 4.26 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 152:78 K:BB across 169 innings. Soriano has been knocked around a bit this spring, allowing seven earned runs on nine hits and three walks across 8.2 frames, while striking out 10 of the 38 batters he's faced.

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE

Superb in spring start Soriano allowed one hit and struck out four batters without issuing a walk over five scoreless innings in a Cactus League start against San Francisco on Monday.

Impact Soriano had this start pushed back almost a week due to an illness, but he showed no signs of the ailment Monday. The right-hander breezed through a Giants lineup that included Rafael Devers, Matt Chapman and Willy Adames, yielding just one baserunner on a second-inning single. Soriano retired the final 11 batters he faced and got through his five frames on 60 pitches. Per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register, the hurler's fastball reached triple digits after he averaged 97.3 mph on the offering last season. This was a nice bounce-back for Soriano following a rough start to the spring slate during which he allowed seven runs over 3.2 innings across two starts.

MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE

Ready to go after bout with illness Soriano (illness) will start Monday's Cactus League game against the Giants.

Impact Soriano missed his last turn because he was battling an illness, but he's been cleared to return to action after more than a week of rest. The right-hander will be looking to get back on track after being knocked around for seven runs over 3.2 innings in his first two starts this spring.

MARCH 9 • ROTOWIRE

Pushed back due to illness Soriano won't start Tuesday's Cactus League game against the Mariners as scheduled due to an illness, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact The right-hander has surrendered seven earned runs across 3.2 frames in his first two outings of spring training, and his third appearance will be pushed back due to an ailment. Soriano shouldn't miss much time and could slot back into the pitching schedule later in the week.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Shaky in spring debut Soriano allowed four runs on three hits and two walks while striking out two batters over two-thirds of an inning in a Cactus League contest against the Dodgers on Saturday.

Impact Soriano was tabbed to start the Angels' first game of the spring slate after ending last season on the injured list due to a right forearm contusion. The 27-year-old struggled against a Dodgers lineup that featured just a few of its anticipated starters, though all three of the hits he allowed were singles. Soriano is penciled into the Angels' rotation, so he'll look to shake off this outing and prepare for the regular season during the remainder of his spring appearances.

Angels may have sent subtle Opening Day message with Cactus League starter The Los Angeles Angels have named Jose Soriano their Cactus League Opener, and that could be a sign of what's to come for Opening Day.

FEBRUARY 19 • HALOHANGOUT.COM

Nabs start for Cactus League opener Soriano (forearm) is scheduled to start the Angels' Cactus League opener Saturday versus the Dodgers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact Soriano missed the final two weeks of the 2025 season while recovering from a right forearm contusion, but he seemingly moved past the injury quickly during the offseason and reported to spring training with no limitations. Angels manager Kurt Suzuki has already confirmed that Soriano has locked down a rotation spot, and the right-hander could even challenge Yusei Kikuchi for the Opening Day nod. Soriano wrapped up the 2025 campaign with a 10-11 record, 4.26 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 152:78 K:BB across 169 innings over 31 starts.

Settles with Angels Soriano (forearm) agreed to a one-year, $2.9 million contract with the Angels on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Soriano worked as a starter for the entirety of the 2025 season, though he landed on the injured list with a forearm contusion in mid-September. X-rays came back clean, so he'll presumably be ready to roll once spring training begins.
