Jose Soriano and the Angels have avoided arbitration with the two sides settling on a $2.9 million salary for 2026.

Soriano started a career-high 31 games for the Angels last season and went 10-11 with a 4.26 ERA and 152 strikeouts in 169 innings. Soriano is one of the best ground ball pitchers in the league, posting a ground ball rate of 64.5% and a fly ball rate of a miniscule 12.1% last season. Soriano did get injured towards the end of last season with a forearm contusion, but he should be ready to go for the spring and remain in the Angels' starting rotation in 2026.

The Los Angeles Angels placed Jose Soriano on the 15-day injured list on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

After today’s performance, Soriano now has a 4.13 ERA and 1.38 WHIP to go with a 10-10 record across 30 starts this season. This marks back-to-back outings of failing to reach the fifth inning. Soriano has been solid at times, but underwhelming overall. His ERA is the worst of his short career, but his xERA, FIP and xFIP are either better or right in line with his career numbers. He'll look for better results next week against the Brewers.
