Michael Soroka

Michael Soroka is likely to remain in the bullpen, per manager Pedro Grifol.

Soroka was thought to be an option to fill in the rotation spot left by the injured Brad Keller. Fantasy managers should expect Nick Nastrini or Jonathan Cannon to likely get the call to join the rotation.

Michael Soroka will be moved from the White Sox rotation to the bullpen.

Fantasy Impact

Soroka has pitched exclusively as a starter so far this season, but his time in the rotation, at least for now, is over. The oft-injured righty has posted an ugly 6.39 ERA and 1.51 WHIP over nine starts. He's also tied for an MLB-high 10 homers allowed alongside a 24-to-24 K/BB across 43 2/3 innings. Brad Keller will move out of the bullpen and into Soroka's spot in the White Sox rotation.

Michael Soroka was mediocre on Thursday, pitching 5 innings, two runs, four hits, two walks, and one strikeout in a 6-3 loss to the Twins.

Fantasy Impact

Soroka allowed two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out just one over five innings. This performance continues a troubling trend for Soroka, whose season ERA now sits at an inflated 6.83 with a 1.69 WHIP through six starts. His low strikeout rate of 4.0 K/9 and high FIP of 7.36 suggest that he's not just unlucky but genuinely struggling to retire batters effectively. Fantasy managers should steer away from Soroka on the waiver wire, as his current form offers little in terms of reliability or upside.

Michael Soroka struggled mightily in Saturday's 9-5 loss to the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed five earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out only two over 4 2/3 innings. This performance continues a troubling trend for Soroka, whose season ERA ballooned to 7.50 with a WHIP of 1.79 across five starts. His strikeout rate remains anemic at 4.5 K/9, and a FIP of 6.97 suggests his struggles are not solely due to bad luck. Fantasy managers should be wary of relying on Soroka in any format given his current form, as both his lack of strikeouts and high rate of runs allowed severely limit his upside.

Michael Soroka allowed five runs on five hits over 4 2/3 innings Sunday against the Reds.
