Diamondbacks' Michael Soroka: Aiming for minimum IL stay
Soroka (arm) said Monday that he expects to return following a minimum 15-day stay on the injured list, Jody Jackson of DBacks.tv reports.
Soroka landed on the IL on Sunday with inflammation in his pitching arm, and the hurler believes he's merely going through a "dead arm" phase. While there is early optimism that the right-hander will be back on the active roster in two weeks, he will have to check several boxes of his rehab between now and then to make it a reality.

Diamondbacks' Michael Soroka: Lands on injured list
The Diamondbacks placed Soroka on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right arm inflammation.
The right-hander struggled in Saturday's start versus the Reds, surrendering six runs on six hits and three walks across 3.1 innings. Soroka missed nearly two months earlier this summer due to a glute injury, and an arm injury offers the possibility of a longer absence. He'll be eligible to be reinstated in early September but doesn't yet have an official timeline for his return.

Diamondbacks' Michael Soroka: Takes step back in loss
Soroka (8-4) allowed six runs on six hits, three walks and a hit batsman while striking out three over 3.1 innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Reds.
This was Soroka's worst start in three outings since he returned from a strained glute. He didn't give up a home run, but the Reds' top half of the order was able to collect two doubles and a triple off of him. Soroka is now at a 3.40 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 91:24 K:BB through 95.1 innings over 18 starts this season. This was just the fourth time he's allowed four or more runs, so consider it a blip on the radar. Soroka has a good chance to bounce back since his next start is projected to come in San Francisco.

Diamondbacks' Michael Soroka: Solid in no-decision
Soroka didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Atlanta, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out five.
In two starts since returning from a nearly two-month stint on the IL, Soroka has allowed just two runs on nine hits over 10 innings. Overall, the right-hander is 8-3 with a 2.93 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 88:21 K:BB across 17 starts (92 innings) this season. Soroka is tentatively in line to face the Reds at home his next time out.

Diamondbacks' Michael Soroka: Steady in return
Soroka (glute) allowed three hits and three walks while striking out four over 4.1 shutout innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Monday.
Soroka didn't pitch deep enough into this game to earn the win, but it was a promising return after he missed nearly two months due to a glute strain. The right-hander threw 47 of 77 pitches for strikes, so a bit of inefficiency likely cost him the win in a game where Arizona was never threatened. Prior to the injury, Soroka was having a resurgent season -- he's at a 2.92 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 83:20 K:BB through 86.1 innings over 16 starts. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at Atlanta, though he may still have at least a slight workload limit.

Diamondbacks' Michael Soroka: Reinstated from injured list
The Diamondbacks reinstated Soroka (glute) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start against the Rockies on Monday.
Soroka needed just one rehab start before being cleared to return to the Diamondbacks' rotation. Monday's start will be his first in the majors since June 19, as he's spent the last few weeks on the IL due to a left glute strain, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Soroka operate on a pitch count in his return. He has a 3.07 ERA and 1.09 WHIP over 82 innings this season.

Diamondbacks' Michael Soroka: Cleared to rejoin rotation Monday
The Diamondbacks confirmed that Soroka (glute) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Monday's vrersus the Rockies at Chase Field, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Soroka has been on the shelf since June 20 while recovering from a strained left glute, but he needed just one rehab start to prove his health. The 29-year-old worked four innings and tossed 57 pitches in an outing Tuesday with Triple-A Reno, giving up one earned run on three hits and two walks while striking out a batter. The Diamondbacks will likely keep Soroka's workload in check Monday in his first MLB start in over seven weeks, but he'll be a welcome addition to the rotation nonetheless. Prior to getting hurt, Soroka was experiencing a resurgence in 2026, posting a 3.07 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with 79 strikeouts over 82 innings with Arizona.

Diamondbacks' Michael Soroka: Expected to return Monday
Soroka (glute) is expected to return from the 15-day injured list to start Monday's game against the Rockies at Chase Field, MLB.com reports.
The Diamondbacks felt comfortable bringing the right-hander back from the IL following a lone rehab start Tuesday, when he allowed one run over four innings and 57 pitches for Triple-A Reno. Arizona cleared a spot for Soroka in the rotation by optioning starter Kohl Drake to Reno on Friday.

Diamondbacks' Michael Soroka: Hits 57 pitches in rehab start
Soroka (glute) allowed one run on three hits and two walks while striking out one over four innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.
Soroka tossed 57 pitches (37 strikes) in the rehab outing, which was his first appearance since landing on the 15-day injured list June 20 due to a glute strain. He induced six swings and misses and averaged 92.7 mph with his four-seam fastball, down a full tick from his season-long average. The right-hander doesn't look far away from a return from the 15-day injured list, but the Diamondbacks may want him to get stretched out a little bit more in another rehab start before adding him back to the big-league rotation.

Diamondbacks' Michael Soroka: Making rehab start Tuesday
Soroka (glute) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
Soroka is slated to throw up to five innings and 60 pitches in the outing. It will be his first time appearing in a game since he went down with a left glute strain in late June. The right-hander could be ready to rejoin the Diamondbacks' rotation after Tuesday's start, though the club might prefer Soroka to get stretched out further before reinstating him. He boasts a 3.07 ERA and 79:17 K:BB over 82 innings covering 15 starts for Arizona this season.

Diamondbacks' Michael Soroka: Throws bullpen Monday
Soroka (glute) threw a bullpen session Monday, MLB.com reports.

Diamondbacks' Michael Soroka: Aiming for early-August return
Manager Torey Lovullo said Friday that Soroka (glute) is in line to return from the injured list sometime around early August, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.
The plan is for Soroka to throw a couple more bullpen sessions Saturday and Tuesday before pitching in a simulated game the following Saturday (July 25). The D-backs have already confirmed the right-hander will make at least one rehab start before returning to the big-league rotation, which will push his next start with Arizona into next month. An exact date for his second-half debut will likely emerge as he continues to check off boxes in his throwing program.

Diamondbacks' Michael Soroka: Will require rehab assignment
Manager Torey Lovullo said Thursday that Soroka (glute) will require a rehab start before returning to the Diamondbacks' rotation, Alex D'Agostino of SI.com reports.
Soroka hasn't pitched since June 19 but did throw a bullpen session Tuesday. Lovullo said Soroka's timeline is somewhat up in the air, and it's unclear when the right-hander will make his rehab start. With Zac Gallen (elbow) landing on the injured list this week, the Diamondbacks will need to continue to fill multiple holes in the rotation for the near future. Jose Cabrera will be an option to be called back up to Arizona.

Diamondbacks' Michael Soroka: Closing in on mound work
Soroka (glute) is expected to begin throwing bullpen sessions twice weekly starting Tuesday, MLB.com reports.
Soroka, who landed on the 15-day injured list June 20 due to left glute discomfort, appears likely to miss more than the minimum amount of time. A clearer target date for his return from the IL should become available once he advances to facing hitters.

Diamondbacks' Michael Soroka: Placed on injured list
The Diamondbacks placed Soroka on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to a strained left glute.
Soroka suffered the injury while warming up for the second inning of Friday's start against the Twins, putting a premature end to his evening. He'll now be forced to sit out through at least the beginning of July, though he may still be able to make a few more starts before the All-Star break, depending on how quickly he can recover. Philip Abner was recalled from Triple-A Reno to give Arizona extra bullpen depth while the team sorts out its rotation plans.

Diamondbacks' Michael Soroka: Exits early Friday
Soroka was removed from Friday's game against the Twins with posterior left hip discomfort.
Soroka gave up two hits in a scoreless first inning Friday but felt something while warming up for the second and was taken out of the game. It's unclear whether his injury will prevent him from making his next start, but the D-backs should provide an update on his status in the near future.

Diamondbacks' Michael Soroka: Impressive again in no-decision
Soroka completed seven innings against Cincinnati on Saturday, allowing one run on two hits and no walks while striking out seven batters in a no-decision.
Soroka gave up a run on two hits in the third inning, but aside from that frame the only baserunner he allowed came on a first-inning hit-by-pitch. The right-hander retired the final 13 batters he faced and finished with his sixth quality start over his past eight outings while fanning seven batters. Soroka is in the midst of an excellent campaign, posting an 8-3 record along with a 3.11 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 79:17 K:BB over 81 innings spanning 14 starts. Perhaps most importantly, he's managed to stay healthy -- he's nine innings away from reaching 90 in the majors for the first time since the 2019 season.
