Soroka Nearing Return from Glute Strain for Arizona
The Diamondbacks' No. 5 starter has missed over a month with a glute injury but manager Torey Lovullo says a Monday return looks very likely.
Michael Soroka has been sidelined since late June with a glute strain. Manager Torey Lovullo said it looks 'very strongly' like Soroka will start Monday against the Rockies. Before the injury, Soroka posted a 3.07 ERA with a 3.60 xFIP over 82 innings in 15 starts. Arizona optioned Kohl Drake to the minors Friday, clearing a rotation spot for Soroka's return.
