José Soriano Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Angels right-hander Jose Soriano got off on the right foot in 2026 in his Opening Day start on Thursday in the team's 3-0 shutout win over the Houston Astros. Soriano was in top form on the road at Daikin Park, tossing six shutout innings with only two hits allowed, four walks, and seven strikeouts to pick up his first win of the year. The 27-year-old has teased upside before, only to disappoint fantasy managers. Still, Soriano is worth a look as a waiver-wire pickup early this year for his ground-ball abilities and high-end velocity as starting pitching depth. The Dominican hurler had a 4.26 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 31 starts a year ago and has a career .3.82 ERA (3.77 FIP), 1.31 WHIP, 22.3% strikeout rate, and 10.7% walk rate in four MLB seasons. Soriano will need to lower his walk rate to tap into his true ceiling. He faces a matchup against the Chicago Cubs in his second start of 2026 next week.

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jose Soriano was tough to hit during Thursday's Opening Day nod against the Houston Astros. Soriano threw six scoreless innings, allowing two hits, four walks, and striking out seven batters in the win. It was an impressive outing for Soriano, who allowed one hit through his first five innings of work. The lack of command is a concern going forward, but Soriano was able to work around the damage on Thursday. He did get 19 swings and misses on Thursday, which registered an elite CSW of 36 percent. The upside makes Soriano worth a look as a waiver wire pickup. His next outing will come on Tuesday versus the Chicago Cubs.

The Los Angeles Angels announced on Tuesday that right-hander Jose Soriano will take the ball on Opening Day this year on March 26 against the Houston Astros on the road. Soriano will make his first career Opening Day start after he went 10-11 with a career-high 4.26 ERA (3.73 FIP) and 1.39 WHIP with 152 strikeouts and 78 walks in 169 innings over his 31 starts in 2025. The 27-year-old Dominican has elite velocity and gets plenty of ground balls, but he's been extremely inconsistent in his three years in the big leagues, making him primarily a late-round flier for starting-pitching depth in mixed fantasy leagues. Soriano has a 22.1% career strikeout rate and a concerning 10.6% walk rate as well. Control issues are the biggest reason why he's mainly a matchup-based streamer in DFS. Soriano has had a rough go in Cactus League action in spring training, allowing seven earned runs on nine hits while walking three and striking out 10 in 8 2/3 innings over his three starts.

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jose Soriano (illness) has been scratched ahead of his scheduled start on Tuesday. Soriano was supposed to take the mound against the Seattle Mariners, but he will miss that start due to illness. George Klassen will be tasked with taking the ball during Tuesday's Catcus League contest. Soriano has been lit up this spring to the tune of seven earned runs across 3.2 innings of work. Soriano isn't expected to miss much time and should be back in the mix later in the week. The 27-year-old registered a 4.26 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, and a 152/78 K/BB ratio across 31 starts with the Angels last season. Soriano is more of a streaming option because his lack of command makes him tough to trust over a full season.

Los Angeles Angels right-hander Jose Soriano will start the team's Cactus League opener in spring training on Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Tempe Diablo Stadium, according to Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com. Soriano is completely recovered after missing the final two weeks of last season with a right-forearm contusion. Not only will the 27-year-old kick off Cactus League action this year, but he could get the nod as the Halos' Opening Day starter over left-hander Yusei Kikuchi. In his third year in the majors with the Angels in 2025, Soriano went 10-11 with a career-high 4.26 ERA (3.73 FIP), 1.39 WHIP, and 152:78 K:BB in 169 innings over his 31 starts. His stuff is top-notch, and he generates plenty of ground balls, but Soriano holds only a 22.1% career strikeout rate, while his 10.6% walk rate will scare many away. RotoBaller has him ranked just inside the top 100 starting pitchers in fantasy.

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jose Soriano (forearm) was placed on the 15-day injured list on Thursday. Soriano was hit in the forearm by a line drive during his start on Wednesday. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative, so Soriano is only dealing with a contusion. Despite that, Soriano is going to miss the rest of the regular season. He'll finish the 2025 campaign with a 4.26 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, and a 152/78 K/BB ratio across 31 starts. In a corresponding move, left-hander Sam Aldegheri has been recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake. Aldegheri has pitched well in the minors this season and figures to take over Soriano's spot in the rotation for the rest of the season.

Los Angeles Angels right-hander Jose Soriano (forearm) left his start against the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday with a contusion on his right forearm. Soriano exited in the second inning after a line drive off the bat of Jake Bauers struck him in the arm, but X-rays came back negative for a fracture. The Angels replaced Soriano with righty Connor Brogdon. After giving up three earned runs in 1 1/3 innings on Wednesday, Soriano owns a 4.26 ERA with a 1.38 WHIP, 152 strikeouts, and 78 walks in 169 innings this season. The 26-year-old is scheduled to make his next start against the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday.

Los Angeles Angels right-hander Jose Soriano will not make his scheduled start on Wednesday against the visiting Minnesota Twins in Anaheim, according to Erica Weston of Bally Sports. Soriano will get an extra day of rest and start on Thursday in the series opener in Seattle against the division-rival Mariners. Right-hander Jose Urena will make the spot start against the Twins at Angel Stadium. The Halos are giving Soriano an extra day after he surrendered eight runs in just 2 1/3 innings to the Athletics his last time out. The 26-year-old won't have an easy bounce-back matchup on the road against a Seattle club in a heated battle for the American League West division lead and the final wild-card spot. Urena has pitched for a whopping five teams this year and has a 4.39 ERA with 26 K's and 13 walks in 14 appearances (five starts). Fantasy managers should look for better streaming options.

The Los Angeles Angels announced that they have reinstated right-hander Jose Soriano from the restricted list. The team placed Soriano on the list Saturday to give him an extra day to travel back from the Dominican Republic after the birth of his child. Now that he's back, Soriano is in line to make his 27th start of the season on Monday against the Texas Rangers. In three meetings with Texas this year, Soriano has gone 0-3 while allowing nine earned runs on 18 hits and posting 13 strikeouts against nine walks in 16 2/3 innings. Over 148 2/3 frames this season, the 26-year-old has logged an 8-9 record with a 4.00 ERA, a 1.38 WHIP, and 130:64 K:BB.

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jose Soriano was moved from the paternity list to the restricted list on Saturday. According to Jeff Fletcher, the Angels made this move to give Soriano an extra day to travel back from the Dominican Republic. He has been away from the team due to the birth of his child. The plan is for Soriano to rejoin the Angels on Sunday and start Monday's contest. Soriano hasn't been a great fantasy option, but does offer some deep league value.
