Angels general manager Perry Minasian said last weekend that the the team hasn't yet decided if Soriano (arm) will be shut down from pitching this season, per MLB.com.
Soriano said when he was placed on the IL following his Aug. 16 start that he doesn't believe he's dealing with a serious injury, and there's been no evidence to contradict that assessment. However, the right-hander has already blown past his previous professional high of 82.1 innings by tossing 113 frames this season and indicated that he was feeling arm fatigue before landing on the injured list. The Angels, who are well out of the playoff race, may opt to play it safe and keep him sidelined for the remainder of the campaign. Soriano figures to be a key part of the team's starting rotation next year regardless of whether he returns to action in 2024.
