PHOENIX (AP) — Canadian right-hander Michael Soroka and the Arizona Diamondbacks finalized a $7.5 million, one-year contract on Friday.
The 28-year-old from Calgary is expected to bolster the back of the D-backs’ starting rotation.
He was 3-8 with a 4.52 ERA last season, starting 16 games for the Washington Nationals before getting traded to the Chicago Cubs, where he pitched mostly out of the bullpen.
A 2019 All-Star with the Atlanta Braves, Soroka was one of the game’s best young pitchers, finishing with a 13-4 record and a 2.68 ERA that season.
But he tore his right Achilles twice — once in 2020 and again in 2021 — which kept him off the mound for more than two full seasons.
