Angels' Jose Soriano: Placed on paternity list
Rotowire
The Angels placed Soriano on the paternity list Wednesday.
Soriano is tentatively lined up to start against the Cubs this weekend, and he should still be available to pitch since players can spend only 1-to-3 days on the paternity list. The Angels recalled Chase Silseth from Triple-A Salt Lake, who could make a spot start if Soriano is away from the team for longer than expected. Soriano has gone 2-2 in six starts since the All-Star break with a 4.29 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 32:9 K:BB across 35.2 innings.

Angels' Jose Soriano: Ineffective in no-decision
Rotowire
Soriano did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 11-5 extra-inning win against the Athletics. He allowed five runs on eight hits and one walk over 5.2 innings with five strikeouts.
The Los Angeles right-hander coughed up a season-worst three long balls, as he was saddled with five or more runs for the eighth time in 26 starts. Soriano fired 102 total pitches but managed to generate only 10 whiffs while notching five or more Ks for the fifth time in his six post-All-Star break starts. Through 148.2 total frames, the 26-year-old now sports a 4.00 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 130:64 K:BB. Soriano is currently scheduled to make his next appearance at home against the Cubs next weekend.

Angels' Jose Soriano: Holds crosstown rivals to two hits
Rotowire
Soriano (8-9) earned the win over the Dodgers on Monday, allowing two hits and issuing two walks while striking out six batters over six scoreless innings.
Soriano was very sharp Monday, limiting the Dodgers to two harmless singles and two walks. He notched his fourth quality start over his past five outings, though the one game in which he didn't accomplish that feat was a seven-run, four-inning blowup against Tampa Bay his previous time on the mound. Soriano has been prone to the occasional ugly outing this year -- he has given up five or more runs on six occasions -- but he's also racked up seven appearances of six-plus frames without allowing an earned run. Overall, he's at a 3.84 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 125:63 K:BB over 143 innings spanning 25 starts.

Angels' Jose Soriano: Allows seven runs in ninth loss
Rotowire
Soriano (7-9) took the loss Tuesday, allowing seven runs on seven hits and a walk over four innings against Tampa Bay. He struck out four.
The right-hander cruised through three scoreless innings before unraveling in the fourth, giving up seven runs sparked by a two-run homer from Brandon Lowe. Soriano remains a mixed bag for fantasy managers -- while his 4.01 ERA over 137 innings and 24 starts doesn't properly align with his more favorable 3.55 FIP, his modest 7.8 K/9 and elevated 4.0 BB/9 dampen his overall appeal.
Soriano (7-8) took the loss against Texas on Wednesday, pitching seven innings and allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out seven batters.
Soriano pitched well Wednesday, notching 12 whiffs and seven punchouts while holding the Rangers to one earned run. However, opposing starter Nathan Eovaldi limited the Angels to one run across seven innings of his own to eke out the victory. Soriano nonetheless recorded his third straight quality start, and he's surrendered just five earned runs over 20 innings during that span. His ERA is down to 3.65 on the campaign, and he's already recorded a career-best 115 strikeouts over a career-high 133 frames.
Soriano allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five over six innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Friday.
Soriano gave up two home runs to Julio Rodriguez, but both were solo shots. This was Soriano's second quality start in a row, and while he's allowed three homers over those games, he's given up just four runs in 13 innings. For the season, he's at a 3.79 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 108:58 K:BB through 126 innings across 22 starts. The 26-year-old has already blown past his previous career high of 113 innings from last season, and he experienced arm fatigue last August, so it'll be important to keep an eye on how he holds up for the last two months of 2025. He's tentatively scheduled for a home start versus the Rangers next week.
Soriano (7-7) earned the win against the Phillies on Sunday, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks with five strikeouts over seven innings.
Soriano was staked to an early lead and mostly cruised, allowing just one extra-base hit while throwing 60 of 93 pitches for strikes and generating nine whiffs. It was a solid rebound for the 26-year-old after he surrendered 10 runs (six earned) over his final two starts before the All-Star break. He's now completed seven frames seven times this season and will carry a 3.83 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 103:57 K:BB across 120 innings into a home matchup with the Mariners next weekend.

Angels' Jose Soriano: Comes undone in fourth inning
Rotowire
Soriano (6-7) allowed five runs (one earned) on five hits and three walks while striking out three over five innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Diamondbacks.
Soriano got through three innings with little trouble, but Arizona put together a four-run rally in the fourth, aided by an error. Over his last nine starts, Soriano has been operating on extremes -- he's given up five-plus runs four times, but his other five starts in that span have seen him surrender one run or fewer. That inconsistency is frustrating for fantasy managers, but the right-hander has been one of the Angels' more effective starters in the first half, posting a 3.90 ERA despite a 1.45 WHIP and 98:55 K:BB through 113 innings over 20 starts.
Angels' Jose Soriano: Crumbles in fourth inning in loss
Rotowire
Soriano (6-6) took the loss Tuesday against the Rangers, giving up five runs on three hits and five walks in four innings. He struck out four.
The fourth inning was a rather disastrous one for Soriano, who allowed five runs on three hits (two doubles) and three walks in that frame alone after firing three hitless innings to begin his outing. The five walks set a season high as well. While Soriano has logged at least six frames and allowed one run or fewer in five of his last eight outings, he's now yielded at least five runs in the other three appearances during that span. With a 4.00 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 95:52 K:BB through 108 innings for the year, he'll be hard to trust this weekend in a difficult assignment at home versus the Diamondbacks.
