The Angels placed Soriano on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a right forearm contusion.
Soriano was taken out of his most recent start Wednesday after getting hit on the forearm by a comebacker. X-rays on his forearm came back negative, but the Angels will place him on the injured list anyway, putting an early end to his season. The 26-year-old will finish 2025 with a 4.26 ERA and 1.40 WHIP alongside a 152:78 K:BB across 169 innings. Sam Aldegheri was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

Rotowire
Soriano was removed from his start Wednesday against the Brewers due to a right forearm contusion.
Soriano took a line drive off his forearm in the second inning of Wednesday's game, forcing him to be pulled after just 1.1 frames. He was charged with three earned runs and is likely headed toward his 11th loss of the season. X-rays on his forearm came back negative shortly after the incident, leaving the door open for him to make his next start.

Angels' Jose Soriano: Worst outing of season versus A's
Rotowire
Soriano (10-10) allowed eight runs on six hits and five walks while striking out four over 2.1 innings to take the loss Friday versus the Athletics.
Soriano had won three of his last four starts, posting scoreless lines in each victory, but it was again the Athletics that got to him. He posted quality starts in his first two matchups against the A's this year, but they've responded by tagging him for 13 runs across eight innings in his last two starts against them. Soriano has been prone to blowups this year -- this is the eighth time he's given up five or more earned runs and the ninth time he's been charged with at least five runs. Over 29 starts, he has a 4.07 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 148:73 K:BB through 163.2 innings. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Twins.

Angels' Jose Soriano: Wins again
Rotowire
Soriano (10-9) picked up the win Sunday against Houston, allowing one hit and three walks across seven scoreless innings. He struck out eight.
Soriano delivered his third scoreless start of his last four outings, shutting down the Astros and notching his most strikeouts in his last 12 appearances. A five-run start against the Athletics on Aug. 17 spoiled Soriano's stats over that four-start stretch. Soriano had five scoreless outings in 24 starts before his recent streak. Through 161.1 innings, Soriano has a 3.68 ERA and a 144:68 K:BB. He's tentatively scheduled to make his next start at home against the A's.

Angels' Jose Soriano: Secures victory in return
Rotowire
Soriano (9-9) threw 5.2 scoreless innings, allowing four hits and issuing one walk while striking out six batters, to earn the win over Texas on Monday.
Soriano's previous start had come eight days ago because he missed some time while on the paternity list. The extra days off appeared to serve the right-hander well, as he kept Texas from producing any extra-base hits over 5.2 scoreless frames. Soriano couldn't quite record a quality start -- he was pulled with two outs in the bottom of the sixth after allowing the final two batters he faced to reach base -- but this was nonetheless a strong bounce-back after he gave up five runs over 5.2 innings in his previous start. Soriano will try to build on Monday's excellent outing the next time he takes the mound, which lines up to be against Houston this weekend.

Angels' Jose Soriano: Returns from restricted list
Rotowire
The Angels reinstated Soriano (personal) from the restricted list Sunday.
Soriano wasn't ready to rejoin the Angels after the maximum three days on the paternity list, so the club shifted him to the restricted list Saturday in a procedural move. He's slated to make his next start Monday versus the Rangers.

Angels' Jose Soriano: Requires extra time away
Rotowire
Soriano (personal) was moved from the paternity list to the restricted list Saturday.
Per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register, Soriano traveled back to the Dominican Republic for the birth of his child and required four days off -- one more than the maximum allowed on the paternity list. The expectation is that Soriano will join the team Sunday and make his scheduled start Monday at Texas.

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: Turns in quality start
Rotowire
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.

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.

Angels' Jose Soriano: Notches eighth quality start
Rotowire
Soriano took a no-decision in Monday's 1-0 victory over the Yankees, allowing six hits and one walk over seven scoreless innings. He struck out six.
The Angels right-hander was masterful once again after fanning a season-high 12 in his last outing, as he scattered five singles and a double in this 101-pitch performance. Soriano flashed improved control in this start, breaking a stretch of seven consecutive starts issuing two or more free passes. Through 86.1 total frames, the 26-year-old has pitched to a 3.54 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 70:40 K:BB while conceding only three homers. Soriano is currently scheduled to make his next start at home against the Astros this weekend.

Angels' Jose Soriano: Rocked by Red Sox
Rotowire
Soriano escaped with a no-decision in Wednesday's 11-9 loss to Boston, surrendering seven runs on eight hits and three walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out three.
The right-hander did avoid serving up a homer for the eighth straight start, but that was about the only silver lining for Soriano, who needed 99 pitches (59 strikes) to record 11 outs while coughing up a season-high seven runs. He'll take a 4.11 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 52:37 K:BB through 72.1 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home early next week against the A's.

Angels' Jose Soriano: Earns third win
Rotowire
Soriano (3-4) allowed three runs on six hits and four walks while striking out four over six innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Monday.
Soriano wasn't at his best, but he was still good enough to picked up his third quality start over four outings in May. He also got back in the win column for the first time since April 10 versus the Rays. Soriano's continued success has come from keeping the ball down -- he hasn't allowed a home run in his last five starts and has given up just three long balls all season. That's helped to keep his ERA at 3.57 despite a 1.48 WHIP and 46:27 K:BB over 58 innings. His next start is expected to be in a favorable home matchup versus the Marlins this weekend.

Angels' Jose Soriano: Struggles with control Thursday
Rotowire
Soriano didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Blue Jays after allowing three runs on eight hits and four walks in five innings. He struck out six.
Soriano notably escaped a bases-loaded jam in the opening frame, but he tied a season high in walks Thursday. The right-hander has been erratic so far in 2025, as he's hurled at least six innings while giving up one run or less on three occasions but failed to make it through six innings while yielding at least three runs in his other five appearances. Soriano will be a risky fantasy play in his next scheduled start against the Padres next week, as he owns a rocky 4.00 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 37:20 K:BB over 45 innings on the campaign.

Angels' Jose Soriano: Settles for no-decision Friday
Rotowire
Soriano came away with a no-decision in Friday's 9-1 loss to the Tigers, allowing six hits and a walk over six scoreless innings. He struck out five.
The right-hander went toe-to-toe with reigning AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal and actually came out on top, leaving the mound after 94 pitches (59 strikes) with the Halos ahead 1-0 before Kenley Jansen and the bullpen made a mess of things. Soriano has three quality starts in his seven trips to the mound, but his shaky starts have outweighed the good ones so far, leaving him with a 3.83 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 31:16 K:BB through 40 innings. He'll look to get back in the win column in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the Blue Jays.

Angels' Jose Soriano: Drops third straight
Rotowire
Soriano (2-4) took the loss Sunday against the Twins, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out four.
Soriano held Minnesota to just one run through his first five innings, though he'd allow the first three men to reach in the sixth, ultimately resulting in three more runs (two earned) on his final line. Soriano has dropped three consecutive outings after starting the year 2-1 with a 2.70 ERA in his first three starts. His ERA now sits at 4.50 through six starts (34 innings) with a 1.47 WHIP and 26:15 K:BB. Soriano currently lines up to face the Tigers at home in his next start.

Angels' Jose Soriano: Struggles with control in loss
Rotowire
Soriano (2-3) took the loss Tuesday against Pittsburgh after allowing five runs on eight hits and four walks in 3.1 innings. He struck out two.
After giving up a career-high 10 hits in his last start, Soriano yielded eight more knocks and a season-high four walks Tuesday in his shortest outing of the year in terms of innings pitched. The hard-throwing right-hander also struggled with his control, with just 45 of his 84 pitches landing for strikes. Soriano holds an underwhelming 4.34 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 22:14 K:BB over 29 innings (five starts), but he should still carry some fantasy appeal against a scuffling Twins lineup in his next scheduled appearance in Minnesota.

Angels' Jose Soriano: Has one bad inning in defeat
Rotowire
Soriano (2-2) took the loss against Texas on Wednesday, allowing three runs on 10 hits and two walks while striking out two batters over 5.2 innings.
Soriano wasn't sharp overall Wednesday, but his loss can primarily be pinned on a poor second inning. In that frame, the right-hander allowed three hits and issued his only two walks of the contest, leading to the Rangers plating all three of their runs. Soriano did manage to show resilience by making it through the rest of his start without giving up any additional runs, though he allowed at least one runner to reach base in each frame in which he pitched. Soriano has one poor start to his stat sheet this season -- he gave up five runs over 5.1 frames April 4 against Cleveland -- but he's been effective otherwise, yielding just four runs across 20.1 innings in his other three outings.

Angels' Jose Soriano: Sharp in second win
Rotowire
Soriano (2-1) earned the win Thursday over the Rays, allowing one run on five hits and three walks over 7.2 innings. He struck out four.
Soriano was efficient Thursday, working into the eighth inning on just 93 pitches. He also got more than enough run support, as the Angels cruised to an 11-1 victory. Soriano's gotten off to a nice start this season, pitching to a 2.70 ERA with a 1.00 WHIP and 18:8 K:BB through his first three starts (20 innings). The right-hander is currently lined up for a road matchup with the Rangers in his next outing.
