Jose Soriano Scratched With Abdominal Pain
5 months agoLos Angeles Angels right-hander Jose Soriano (abdomen) has been scratched from his scheduled start on Monday against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers due to abdominal pain. Right-hander Zach Plesac will now make the emergency spot start. We don't currently know the severity of Soriano's injury or whether he'll only miss just one turn through the Angels' rotation. The 25-year-old is now a candidate to land on the injured list if it's serious enough. The hard-throwing Dominican pitcher has been much better in his last two starts, giving up only four runs (three earned) while walking three and fanning six in 14 innings against the Padres and Diamondbacks to lower his season ERA to 3.48. This will be Plesac's first big-league start in 2024 after recording a 5.42 ERA and 1.43 WHIP with 51 K's in 74 2/3 innings in 13 starts for Triple-A Salt Lake. Plesac won't be a recommended streamer on Monday.
