Michael Soroka was mediocre on Thursday, pitching 5 innings, two runs, four hits, two walks, and one strikeout in a 6-3 loss to the Twins.
Fantasy Impact
Soroka allowed two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out just one over five innings. This performance continues a troubling trend for Soroka, whose season ERA now sits at an inflated 6.83 with a 1.69 WHIP through six starts. His low strikeout rate of 4.0 K/9 and high FIP of 7.36 suggest that he's not just unlucky but genuinely struggling to retire batters effectively. Fantasy managers should steer away from Soroka on the waiver wire, as his current form offers little in terms of reliability or upside.
