The Cardinals acquired Soriano from the Nationals on Tuesday in exchange for Andre Granillo, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Soriano has been bouncing around via waivers this offseason and is now joining his fifth organization of the winter. The right-hander is out of minor-league options, so he's a good bet to open the season in the Cardinals' bullpen. Soriano holds a career 5.95 ERA and 117:55 K:BB across 118 innings at the big-league level.

Marlins' George Soriano: Grabs first save
Rotowire
Soriano earned the save Sunday against the Rangers, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning in Miami's 4-2 victory.
Soriano entered with a two-run cushion, sat down Kyle Higashioka on strikes, and needed just eight pitches to retire the side in order and record his first save of the season. The appearance was a needed step in the right direction for the right-hander, who had surrendered 14 runs across his last 13.1 innings. Despite Sunday's success, the 26-year-old still carries an 8.31 ERA and 1.73 WHIP across 53.1 innings on the season.

Rotowire
The Marlins recalled Soriano from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.
The 26-year-old has posted a 9.28 ERA and 1.88 WHIP across 21.1 innings with the Marlins this year, but he'll be called upon nonetheless to provide bullpen depth with Tyler Zuber (lat) hitting the injured list. Given his poor track record in the majors, Soriano will most likely be limited to low-leverage situations while in Miami.

Marlins' George Soriano: Rough start to season
Rotowire
Soriano has an 8.10 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 8:5 K:BB through 10 innings over six appearances.
The 26-year-old right-hander did pick up a win in extra innings March 29 against the Pirates, but Soriano has zero holds or saves so far as he's been mainly limited to low-leverage duty. He's been tagged for at least one run in four straight outings, and given that he has a minor-league option remaining, he could get bumped down to Triple-A Jacksonville once Declan Cronin (hip) is ready to come off the IL.
