Angels Place José Soriano on 15-Day IL After Line Drive Bruises Forearm

The right-hander was struck by a 107 mph comebacker against Milwaukee, with X-rays negative for a fracture.

Overview

  • Los Angeles moved Soriano to the injured list Thursday, a day after he exited in the second inning against the Brewers.
  • The liner off Jake Bauers hit Soriano’s right forearm, which the team diagnosed as a contusion following negative X-rays.
  • Reliever Connor Brogdon replaced Soriano with the bases loaded and allowed all three inherited runners to score in a five-run frame.
  • Milwaukee won 9-2 as Brandon Woodruff struck out nine over five innings, while Taylor Ward accounted for the Angels’ offense with two solo homers.
  • The Angels recalled left-hander Sam Aldegheri from Triple-A Salt Lake; Soriano’s season included 31 starts, 169 innings, a 4.26 ERA, 152 strikeouts, and the majors’ top ground-ball rate among starters.
