Should Michael Soroka be Rostered in More Fantasy Leagues?
Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Michael Soroka was definitely not on the radar in many fantasy leagues entering his seventh season in the big leagues after posting a 4.52 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and 95:29 K:BB in 89 2/3 frames across his 22 appearances (17 starts) in 2025 with the Washington Nationals and Chicago Cubs. The stuff wasn't terrible, but the 28-year-old had not reached 90 innings at the big-league level since 2019. So far in his eight starts in 2026 in the desert, Soroka has impressed with a 5-2 record, 3.53 ERA (3.18 FIP), and 1.31 WHIP with 47 strikeouts and 12 walks in 43 1/3 frames. Since allowing a season-high eight earned runs on 10 hits in just three innings versus the Milwaukee Brewers on April 30, Soroka has locked things back in with one earned run allowed, three walks, and 11 strikeouts in 12 2/3 innings in two starts against the Pirates and Rangers. His 4.76 expected ERA points to regression, but Soroka can still be a useful matchup-based streamer for fantasy managers. His next outing on the road in Colorado at hitter-friendly Coors Field will be a dicey one. Soroka is currently rostered in 59% of Yahoo leagues, where he also carries relief eligibility.
