Los Angeles Angels right-handed pitcher Jose Soriano (arm) is set to pitch on Tuesday against the San Diego Padres. The right-hander ended the 2024 campaign on the injured list, but seeing him slated to start a game early in spring training suggests he will not have any restrictions. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status during the spring, but he is expected to open the season in the starting rotation. Last summer, the 26-year-old made 20 starts (22 games) and held a 3.42 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP. He tallied just 97 punchouts and showed weak command, allowing a high 9.6 percent walk rate. However, he was able to generate ground balls at an elite 60.1 percent rate. If Soriano were to struggle or face a setback later in the spring, Caden Dana or Sam Aldegheri could contend for a rotation spot.
Jose Soriano Moved To 60-Day Injured List, Done For The Season
Los Angeles pitcher Jose Soriano (arm) was moved to the 60-day IL on Saturday afternoon, which will keep him sidelined for the remainder of the 2024 campaign. The 25-year-old originally hit the IL back in mid-August and is now ineligible to return this summer. Soriano typically operated as a starter this season (two relief appearances) and logged a 3.42 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, and a 45:97 BB:K ratio across 113 innings of work. He held a stellar 60.1% ground ball rate and an above average 6.6% barrel rate. Fantasy managers should follow Soriano's development over the offseason as he may not have a stable spot in the rotation in 2025 given the young arms in the Angels system, Caden Dana and Samuel Aldegheri who have looked sharp in their late-season debuts.
Los Angeles Angels pitcher Jose Soriano (abdominal) has been activated off the 15-day injured list on Tuesday. The right-hander missed one start while dealing with an abdominal strain. Soriano will take the ball for Tuesday's matchup against the Oakland Athletics. The 25-year-old has pitched well with a 3.48 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and 60/28 K/BB ratio across 14 appearances (12 starts) this season. He's worth a look as a streaming option especially against the A's offense.
The Los Angeles Angels placed right-hander Jose Soriano (abdomen) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to June 17) on Thursday with an abdomen infection and also outrighted infielder Cole Tucker to Triple-A Salt Lake. The move comes after Soriano was scratched from his scheduled start to begin the week on Monday. The hard-throwing 25-year-old will now miss at least the next two weeks. In just his second year in the big leagues in 2024, the Dominican hurler has given up a lot of loud contact and currently stands at 4-5 with a 3.48 ERA (3.89 FIP) and 1.17 WHIP with a 60:28 K:BB in 72 1/3 innings over his 14 appearances (12 starts) for the Halos. He's been much better on the road than home at Angel Stadium. If he recovers quickly, Soriano could be back in the Angels' rotation before the All-Star break in mid-July.
Jose Soriano Goes Eight Innings, Strikes Out Five In Win
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jose Soriano logged his second straight quality start in Wednesday's 8-3 victory over the Diamondbacks. The 25-year-old went eight innings, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five on his way to securing the win. It brings his record to 4-5 on the season, posting a respectable 3.48 ERA (3.90 FIP) and 1.18 WHIP, albeit with a low 7.47 K/9 and 10.8% K-BB%. He'll try to make it three quality starts in a row when the righty makes his next start on Monday at home against Milwaukee.
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jose Soriano picked up his third win of the season in Wednesday's 3-2 victory over the Padres. Soriano posted his fourth quality start after going six innings, allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits and one walk while striking out one. It was a much-needed bounce-back after two consecutive starts where he allowed four earned runs in each. The 25-year-old now owns a 3.64 ERA (3.84 FIP), 1.21 WHIP, and 10.8% K-BB% on the season. The righty won't help out in the strikeout department for fantasy with a lowly 7.69 K/9, but could be a decent innings-eater that won't crush your ERA and WHIP. His next start lines up with the D-backs on the road next Tuesday.
Jose Soriano Keeps Rangers In Check For Second Win
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jose Soriano delivered the longest start of his career in Sunday's victory over the division-rival Texas Rangers, hurling a career-high 7 2/3 innings and giving up one run on five hits and two walks while striking out five batters and walking two. Picking up his second win of the season on Sunday, Soriano started the game with three spotless innings in this difficult assignment against the defending champions. Whether it be as a starter or a reliever, the 25-year-old right-hander has proven to be a serviceable commodity for the Halos to this point with a 3.30 ERA (4.10 FIP), 1.23 WHIP, and 43:22 K:BB through 46 1/3 frames (eight starts) in 2024. Soriano will carry some streaming appeal in fantasy ahead of his next scheduled start at home on Saturday, when Anaheim hosts the Cleveland Guardians.
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jose Soriano recorded his first win of the 2024 regular season in Friday's 6-0 victory over the Cleveland Guardians, firing six scoreless innings on five hits and one walk with three strikeouts. The Angels gave Soriano plenty of run support on Friday, and he most notably escaped from a bases-loaded jam in the fifth inning with no damage. It was a great rebound performance after Soriano was chased for four runs and couldn't get through two innings in his last appearance at home against the Minnesota Twins. With the effort, the 25-year-old right-hander now sports a decent 3.77 ERA and 1.29 WHIP while fanning 26 and walking 15 over 28 2/3 frames (seven appearances) for the Halos this year. Soriano will aim to build on this showing in Wednesday's projected start on the road against the Pittsburgh Pirates, who are scoring a pathetic 2.4 runs per game over their last 22 contests since April 9.
The Los Angeles Angels will be starting right-hander Jose Soriano on Tuesday in the second game of a four-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays. Soriano is set to make his second start of the season, as he started back on April 10 against the Rays going four innings allowing four runs on six hits in the loss. Soriano is 0-2 with a 6.30 ERA this season, as he's pitched 10 innings allowing seven runs on 10 hits, including three homers.
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jose Soriano has been named the starter for Wednesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The organization has decided to stretch him out as a starter likely due to the fact they've had multiple injuries in their rotation. Soriano is expected to throw around 60 pitches during Wednesday's outing. That means Soriano could give them four or five innings depending on how it goes for him. He's worth keeping an eye on as a possible streaming option.
