Cubs place right-hander Michael Soroka on injured list with shoulder strain, recall Pearson

The Chicago Cubs have placed right-hander Michael Soroka on the 15-day injured list with a shoulder strain after he pitched just two innings in his first game with his new team
AUGUST 5, 2025 • Associated Press
Lands on injured list The Cubs placed Soroka on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to a right shoulder strain, Mike McGraw of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.
Impact The right-hander was removed from Monday's start against the Reds due to shoulder discomfort, with manager Craig Counsell saying after the game that an IL stint would be necessary. Soroka will be eligible to be reinstated Aug. 20, though it wouldn't be surprising if a longer absence is necessary given the nature of the injury.

Will require IL stint Soroka (shoulder) is expected to be placed on the injured list, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The club is presumably still in the process of running more tests, but it's already been determined that Soroka will be shut down for at least the next 15 days. The severity of the injury remains unclear at this time.

Will require IL stint Cubs manager Craig Counsell said after Monday's 3-2 loss that Soroka (shoulder) is expected to be placed on the 15-day injured list, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The club is presumably still in the process of running more tests on Soroka's shoulder, but the right-hander's injury is considered significant enough that he'll need to be shelved for at least two weeks. Acquired from the Nationals ahead of the trade deadline, Soroka lasted just two innings in his Cubs debut, striking out three while giving up one earned run on one hit and one walk before exiting with shoulder discomfort. Ben Brown tossed four innings of one-run ball in long relief and is likely the leading candidate to replace Soroka in the rotation.

Battling shoulder discomfort Soroka was removed after two innings in his start Monday against Cincinnati due to right shoulder discomfort, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Soroka can be considered day-to-day until the team has a chance to re-evaluate the right-hander over the next few days. Ben Brown, who took over for Soroka on Monday, would be a candidate to take Soroka's place in the rotation if he's unable to make his next start. Soroka struck out three and allowed one earned run on one hit and one walk over two frames in his Cubs debut.

Justin Turner hits a game-ending homer as the Cubs top the Orioles 5-3

Justin Turner hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning to give the Chicago Cubs a 5-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles
AUGUST 3, 2025 • Associated Press
Team debut set for Monday Soroka is slated to start Monday's game against the Reds at Wrigley Field.
Impact After coming over from Washington in a deadline deal, Soroka will claim a spot in the back end of the Cubs rotation in place of right-hander Ben Brown, who appears to have been moved to the bullpen. Over his 16 starts with the Nationals this season, Soroka sported a 4.87 ERA, but his 1.13 WHIP, career-best 18.4 K-BB% and 4.05 xFIP all suggest that he pitched better than his ERA indicated.
