Michael Soroka is inching closer to returning to the Diamondbacks’ rotation after a glute strain sidelined him since June 20. Set for a rehab start with Reno Aces this Tuesday, he’ll pitch 4-5 innings using 50-60 pitches — a promising sign he’s nearing full strength. Though not an immediate fix for the team’s rotation woes, his workload exceeds some rookie starters. Before the injury, Soroka posted a 3.07 ERA and strong advanced metrics, showing elite control. His return offers a vital boost as the D-backs also battle injuries to Gallen and Nelson. The team will closely monitor his rehab outing — and if it goes well, Soroka could be back in the big leagues sooner than expected.
