Michael Soroka To Make Rehab Start On Tuesday

The Double-A Harrisburg Senators announced that right-hander Michael Soroka (biceps) will make a minor-league rehab start for them on Tuesday. This will be Soroka's first rehab start since he landed on the injured list on April 4 with a strained right biceps muscle. The 27-year-old will most likely need at least one other rehab start beyond Tuesday before the Nationals start considering activating him from the IL to rejoin their big-league starting rotation. When Soroka is eventually cleared, the Canadian former first-rounder should rejoin Washington's rotation despite allowing four earned runs while walking one and striking out three in five innings in a loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on March 31 in his only start of the 2025 season so far. When healthy, Soroka doesn't carry a ton of fantasy upside and will merely be a matchup-based streamer in deeper leagues.

Michael Soroka Throws Simulated Game On Wednesday

Washington Nationals right-hander Michael Soroka (biceps) was scheduled to throw a simulated game at PNC Park on Wednesday, his first time facing live hitters since his March 31 season debut against the Toronto Blue Jays. Soroka left his debut in the sixth inning with a right-biceps strain but was able to resume throwing around a week later and is now ready for game-like situations. If the 27-year-old's sim game went well, he will likely head out on a minor-league rehab assignment and pitch at least once (maybe twice) to build his arm up before he comes off the 15-day injured list. The Canadian allowed four earned runs in five innings in his first 2025 start but should get another shot at a starting rotation spot when he's deemed healthy. In the meantime, righty Brad Lord has replaced Soroka in the Nats' rotation.

Michael Soroka Heading To Injured List

On Friday, the Washington Nationals placed starting pitcher Michael Soroka (biceps) on the 15-day injured list with a biceps strain. Pitcher Jackson Rutledge was recalled from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move. Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reported the news. Soroka left his start against the Blue Jays after five innings with what the Nationals initially deemed as cramping. The timetable for his return is unclear, but he's slated to miss at least a few turns in the rotation. Rutledge will hold down Soroka's spot for the time being. The oft-injured 27-year-old has not been fully healthy since 2019 and has failed to eclipse 80 innings in each season since.
