Diamondbacks Hoping Michael Soroka's IL Stint Won't be Long
The Arizona Diamondbacks placed right-hander Michael Soroka (arm) back on the 15-day injured list on Sunday with inflammation in his right arm, but the team is hopeful he'll be ready to return to their starting rotation when he's eligible, according to Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports. "He's going to hopefully be ready on Day 16. The plan is to get him a couple days down, get him back on the bump and miss as few days as possible," manager Torey Lovullo said. The move to put the 29-year-old back on the IL came after Soroka surrendered six runs and three walks in 3 1/3 innings pitched in his start on Saturday against the Cincinnati Reds. It is frustrating for fantasy managers after Soroka already missed two months with a glute injury, but the good news is he will be back to close out the 2026 campaign in September. In his three starts since returning from his glute injury on Aug. 10, Soroka allowed eight earned runs on 15 hits while walking seven and striking out 12 in 13 1/3 innings. Soroka was having a resurgent 2026 season before his glute injury in Arizona, and he is now 8-4 with a 3.40 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and 91:24 K:BB in 95 1/3 frames across 18 starts.
