Arizona Diamondbacks ยท Pitcher
Coming off a bounce-back 2026 season with Arizona, Soroka presents a compelling mid-rotation option for fantasy managers seeking ERA and WHIP stability after a rough 2025 campaign. His 8-3 record and 3.07 ERA mark a significant improvement, though the modest 79 strikeouts across 82 innings suggest he'll operate more as a depth innings contributor than a strikeout generator. The 1.09 WHIP demonstrates improved command and control compared to the previous year, making him a solid play for those prioritizing consistency over upside. Durability remains a concern given his injury history, but his All-Star pedigree from 2019 and recent stability give fantasy managers reason to monitor his role closely as a potential back-end starter in deeper formats.
