Lasts 4.2 innings in no-decision Soroka did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on three hits and two walks over 4.2 innings against the Padres. He struck out four.

Impact Soroka worked two scoreless innings before surrendering runs in each of the next three frames, including a solo homer to Gavin Sheets in the fourth. In four outings since returning from right shoulder inflammation, the right-handed hurler posted a 3.48 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 23:5 K:BB across 20.2 innings. With the Diamondbacks falling short of a playoff berth, Soroka will end the 2026 campaign with a 9-5 record, 3.41 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 114:29 K:BB over 116 innings (22 appearances).

Fans nine in strong win Soroka (9-5) earned the win after allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits and a walk while striking out nine over seven innings in Tuesday's 7-2 victory over the Rockies.

Impact The Diamondbacks needed a strong outing from Soroka to keep their playoff chances alive, and the veteran delivering by fanning nine -- his highest mark since April 10, when he struck out 10. He's now allowed just one earned run in his last two starts, posting a 15:2 K:BB across 12 innings in that span.

2026 MLB Power Rankings: Every Contender’s Biggest Surprise This Season

Works up to five frames Soroka allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out six over five innings in a no-decision versus the Marlins on Tuesday.

Impact Soroka stretched out to 80 pitches (53 strikes) in his second appearance back from a shoulder injury, up from 58 pitches in his relief outing last week. The right-hander has allowed four runs over nine innings since his return. He's now at a 3.45 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 101:26 K:BB across 104.1 innings over 20 games (19 starts) this season. Soroka has won the battle for a rotation spot down the stretch since Zac Gallen was demoted to the bullpen Sunday. Soroka's next outing is projected to be in Colorado.

Rejoining rotation Tuesday Manager Torey Lovullo announced Sunday that Soroka will start Tuesday's game against the Marlins, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.

Impact The right-hander piggybacked Zac Gallen Wednesday against the Royals as both pitchers returned from the injured list, but it'll be Soroka that works out of the rotation moving forward. The 29-year-old has been a reliable starter for Arizona when available this year with a 3.53 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 95:25 K:BB over 99.1 innings.

Takes loss in return Soroka (8-5) allowed three runs on three hits and a walk while striking out four over four innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Royals.

Impact Soroka threw 34 of 58 pitches for strikes, but he was tagged for a three-run home run by Bobby Witt in the fifth inning, which was the difference in the game. Soroka was more efficient than Zac Gallen, who started the game and threw 68 pitches (42 strikes). Soroka has a 3.53 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 95:25 K:BB across 99.1 innings this season. Arizona's pitching plans are not yet clear for next week, but considering Soroka's pitch count, it's possible he gets piggybacked again if the team opts not to expand its rotation to six starters.

Reinstated from injured list The Diamondbacks activated Soroka (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Soroka will follow starter Zac Gallen on Wednesday in Kansas City in what's expected to be a piggyback start. The 29-year-old did not make any rehab appearances, instead opting for a 59-pitch simulated game Friday. Soroka could make some starts later this month, though the Diamondbacks have not divulged their specific plans for the righty.

Returning Wednesday Soroka (shoulder) will return from the injured list and pitch against the Royals on Wednesday, Jody Jackson of DBacks.tv reports.

Impact Soroka will return to Arizona's pitching staff after a close-to-minimum-length stay on the injured list that was sparked by right shoulder inflammation Aug. 24. The 29-year-old built up to 59 pitches during a simulated game Friday, so the D-backs will piggyback him with Zac Gallen (elbow), who will also be making his return from the IL on Wednesday. Soroka will likely resume working as a traditional starter after he's had a bit more time to ramp up his workload.

SEPTEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Expected return this week Soroka (shoulder) is expected to be activated for Arizona's series agaisnt Kansas City which begins Monday, MLB.com reports.

Impact Soroka came out of four-inning, 59-pitch simulated game Friday without issue and is expected to join the rotation early in the week. Both he and Zac Gallen (elbow) had positive simulated sessions Friday and each are expected to return during the series against the Royals. Given the five-day schedule for starters and that both are around 60 pitches, the two could team up to pitch the final game of the series Wednesday.

SEPTEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Set to throw sim game Friday Soroka (shoulder) will throw a simulated game Friday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Soroka was placed on the injured list with right arm inflammation last week and is eyeing a minimum stay with a potential return next week if all goes well with his simulated game. The right-hander owns a 3.40 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 91:24 K:BB across 95.1 innings spanning 18 starts this season.

Aiming for minimum IL stay Soroka (arm) said Monday that he expects to return following a minimum 15-day stay on the injured list, Jody Jackson of DBacks.tv reports.

Impact Soroka landed on the IL on Sunday with inflammation in his pitching arm, and the hurler believes he's merely going through a "dead arm" phase. While there is early optimism that the right-hander will be back on the active roster in two weeks, he will have to check several boxes of his rehab between now and then to make it a reality.

Lands on injured list The Diamondbacks placed Soroka on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right arm inflammation.

Impact The right-hander struggled in Saturday's start versus the Reds, surrendering six runs on six hits and three walks across 3.1 innings. Soroka missed nearly two months earlier this summer due to a glute injury, and an arm injury offers the possibility of a longer absence. He'll be eligible to be reinstated in early September but is without an official timeline for his return.

Takes step back in loss Soroka (8-4) allowed six runs on six hits, three walks and a hit batsman while striking out three over 3.1 innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Reds.

Impact This was Soroka's worst start in three outings since he returned from a strained glute. He didn't give up a home run, but the Reds' top half of the order was able to collect two doubles and a triple off of him. Soroka is now at a 3.40 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 91:24 K:BB through 95.1 innings over 18 starts this season. This was just the fourth time he's allowed four or more runs, so consider it a blip on the radar. Soroka has a good chance to bounce back since his next start is projected to come in San Francisco.
