Overview

  • The 26-year-old was struck by a 107.4 mph liner after a 98 mph sinker in the second inning in Milwaukee.
  • The team diagnosed a right forearm contusion, and postgame X-rays were negative.
  • Interim manager Ray Montgomery and head athletic trainer Mike Frostad evaluated him on the mound before he walked off under his own power.
  • Reliever Connor Brogdon replaced him and allowed all three inherited runners to score.
  • Soriano has a 4.26 ERA in a career-high 31 starts with an MLB-best 65.4% ground-ball rate, and his uncertainty looms as the Angels lean on rookies with Tyler Anderson on the IL and Jack Kochanowicz in Triple-A.
