Diamondbacks Starter Soroka Leaves After 1 Inning Due to Hip Injury Against Twins
Michael Soroka left after one inning with posterior left hip discomfort, and Arizona replaced him with Taylor Clarke as its rotation took another hit.
On Friday, Arizona Diamondbacks starter Michael Soroka left his game against the Minnesota Twins after hurting his posterior left hip while warming up for the second inning.
Right-Hander Ryne Nelson was also placed on the injured list Friday with a sprained elbow and strained forearm, further pressuring the pitching staff's depth.
Earlier this month, Corbin Burnes suffered a shoulder setback while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, adding uncertainty to the rotation's stability.
General Manager Mike Hazen recently declared on Arizona Sports 98.7 that he intends to be a buyer at the upcoming MLB trade deadline, though Soroka's injury complicates that strategy.
Soroka, signed for $7.5 million, carries a history of nine injured list stints, including a serious Achilles injury that sidelined him through 2021 and 2022.
