Michael Soroka - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Solid in no-decision Soroka didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Atlanta, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out five.

Impact In two starts since returning from a nearly two-month stint on the IL, Soroka has allowed just two runs on nine hits over 10 innings. Overall, the right-hander is 8-3 with a 2.93 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 88:21 K:BB across 17 starts (92 innings) this season. Soroka is tentatively in line to face the Reds at home his next time out.

AUGUST 11 • SI.COM

Steady in return Soroka (glute) allowed three hits and three walks while striking out four over 4.1 shutout innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Monday.

Impact Soroka didn't pitch deep enough into this game to earn the win, but it was a promising return after he missed nearly two months due to a glute strain. The right-hander threw 47 of 77 pitches for strikes, so a bit of inefficiency likely cost him the win in a game where Arizona was never threatened. Prior to the injury, Soroka was having a resurgent season -- he's at a 2.92 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 83:20 K:BB through 86.1 innings over 16 starts. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at Atlanta, though he may still have at least a slight workload limit.

AUGUST 10 • Associated Press

Reinstated from injured list The Diamondbacks reinstated Soroka (glute) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start against the Rockies on Monday.

Impact Soroka needed just one rehab start before being cleared to return to the Diamondbacks' rotation. Monday's start will be his first in the majors since June 19, as he's spent the last few weeks on the IL due to a left glute strain, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Soroka operate on a pitch count in his return. He has a 3.07 ERA and 1.09 WHIP over 82 innings this season.

AUGUST 10 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Monday Soroka (glute) will start Monday's contest on the mound versus the Rockies, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Soroka was rumored to be on track to make his return to a major-league mound Monday, and the Diamondbacks confirmed that to be the case following Sunday's 4-2 win over the Dodgers. Soroka has been sidelined since late June while recovering from a strained left glute, and he was able to toss 57 pitches in his only rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Reno. The 29-year-old will likely be on a pitch count in his first major-league start in over seven weeks, but he'll be a welcomed addition to the rotation nonetheless. Prior to getting hurt, Soroka was experiencing a resurgence in 2026, posting a 3.07 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with 79 strikeouts over 82 innings in 15 starts with Arizona.

AUGUST 9 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to return Monday Soroka (glute) is expected to start Monday against the Rockies, MLB.com reports.

Impact Soroka needed one rehab outing to prove he's ready to be activated from the injured list. The right-hander reached 57 pitches last Tuesday in a start at Triple-A Reno. He allowed one run on three hits and two walks while walking one over four innings. This move was anticipated after the Diamondbacks optioned Kohl Drake to Reno on Friday.

Begins rehab assignment Soroka (lower body) allowed one run on three hits and two walks while striking out one over four innings for Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

Impact Soroka began a rebab assignment with the Aces, working his pitch count to 57 (37 strikes). That workload indicates the right-hander isn't far off from behind activated.

AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE

Making rehab start Tuesday Soroka (glute) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

Impact Soroka is slated to throw 4-to-5 innings and/or 50-to-60 pitches in the outing. It will be his first time appearing in a game since he went down with a left glute strain in late June. The right-hander could be ready to rejoin the Diamondbacks' rotation after Tuesday's start, though the club might prefer Soroka to get stretched out further before reinstating him. He boasts a 3.07 ERA and 79:17 K:BB over 82 innings covering 15 starts for Arizona this season.

Throws bullpen Monday Soroka (glute) threw a bullpen session Monday, MLB.com reports.

Aiming for early-August return Manager Torey Lovullo said Friday that Soroka (glute) is in line to return from the injured list sometime around early August, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact The plan is for Soroka to throw a couple more bullpen sessions Saturday and Tuesday before pitching in a simulated game the following Saturday (July 25). The D-backs have already confirmed the right-hander will make at least one rehab start before returning to the big-league rotation, which will push his next start with Arizona into next month. An exact date for his second-half debut will likely emerge as he continues to check off boxes in his throwing program.

JULY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Will require rehab assignment Manager Torey Lovullo said Thursday that Soroka (glute) will require a rehab start before returning to the Diamondbacks' rotation, Alex D'Agostino of SI.com reports.

Impact Soroka hasn't pitched since June 19 but did throw a bullpen session Tuesday. Lovullo said Soroka's timeline is somewhat up in the air, and it's unclear when the right-hander will make his rehab start. With Zac Gallen (elbow) landing on the injured list this week, the Diamondbacks will need to continue to fill multiple holes in the rotation. Jose Cabrera will be an option to be called back up to Arizona.
