Diamondbacks Place SP Michael Soroka on 15-Day Injured List
Arizona placed starter Michael Soroka on the 15-day IL, adding another rotation concern to a D-backs club already navigating a turbulent week.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have placed starting pitcher Michael Soroka on the 15-day injured list, per Steve Gilbert of MLB.com, thinning a rotation that the club needs healthy as it works to maintain its Wild Card standing.
The nature of Soroka's injury was not detailed in the report, and no timetable for his return has been provided.
The broader picture
The move lands in the middle of a notably unsettled stretch for Arizona's roster. Earlier this week, the club designated RHP Zack Littell for assignment and reinstated Drey Jameson from the IL in a corresponding move. Meanwhile, Ketel Marte — one of the team's most prominent position players — remains away from the club during injury treatment, following a sequence of roster moves that shifted him from the restricted list to the 10-day IL with knee inflammation.
Soroka's IL placement adds a rotation piece to that list of absences, with Mitch Bratt drawing a start for Arizona in the club's most recently posted lineup.
What remains unconfirmed
No diagnosis, specific injury, or return target for Soroka has been reported. Whether the club will make an additional roster move to fill his rotation spot has not been announced.
