George

Soriano

Soriano has been atrocious with Miami this year while allowing 17 runs in 18 1/3 innings. He’ll try and get right in the minors with Cade Gibson now occupying his roster spot.

Because Rob Brantly is going on the IL, Soriano gets to be recalled after just two days. He had a 6.94 ERA in 11 2/3 innings of relief work before being optioned out Saturday.

Soriano has been up-and-down for Miami over the past three seasons as extra middle relief depth. He holds a lifetime 5.13 ERA and 22.2 percent strikeout rate across 93 innings at the highest level since 2023.

The Marlins needed at least one fresh arm after Thursday’s massacre. Soriano was the obvious candidate for demotion, since he threw 53 pitches while giving up five runs in the game.

Soriano is back in the majors as extra middle relief depth as Miami deals with an avalanche of injuries.

Soriano is heading back to Triple-A with Anthony Veneziano reporting to the Marlins after Miami claimed Veneziano off waivers from Kansas City.

Soriano returns for another stint with the Marlins in place of an injured Andrew Nardi (elbow). The 25-year-old righty has posted an inflated 7.32 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 18/9 K/BB ratio across 19 2/3 innings (15 appearances) this season in the big leagues.

The team needed to send a pitcher to the minors to add Adam Oller before his start on Monday. Soriano had just thrown 61 pitches out of the bullpen over the weekend, so he was an easy answer, but he also has a 7.32 ERA in 19 2/3 innings with the Marlins this year.

The Marlins needed a starter for Monday’s game, so Oller is getting recalled after posting a 5.30 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and a 57/25 K/BB ratio over 52 2/3 innings in 18 appearances (nine starts) in the minors. He should not be added in fantasy leagues. George Soriano was optioned to make room on the roster.

Andrew Nardi entered the game in the eighth inning and allowed two runs on a pinch-hit home run by Donovan Solano, but the Marlins let Nardi stay in to try and finish the two-inning save. However, after a two-out double to Ha-Seong Kim, they turned to Soriano who struck out Luis Campusano for his first save of the season. Calvin Faucher had thrown 19 pitches on Saturday and Anthony Bender had thrown 26, so it’s likely that Soriano was just given a shot to not have either of those right-handers pitch. It’s unlikely Soriano is entering the saves mix.
