For the second time in the last week, Michael Soroka has met the Nationals in D.C. from his minor league rehab assignment. And for the second time in the last week, he doesn't know when or where his next start will take place.

Soroka dominated Friday during his third rehab start while working his way back from a right biceps strain. He struck out 11 hitters over five innings of one-run ball, while reaching his goal of 94 pitches for Triple-A Rochester.

“I felt pretty good,” Soroka said in the Nats clubhouse Monday afternoon. “Everything was coming out pretty good and I can't complain about that. Ultimately, we got to the full pitch count. Yeah, I felt really good.”

The veteran right-hander then threw his between-starts bullpen session at Nationals Park yesterday, so the team will wait to see how he responds today before making a final decision on whether or not to return him to the major league rotation.

“He threw the ball really well. He's good,” manager Davey Martinez said. “So we'll see how he feels tomorrow, and we'll make a decision, hopefully tomorrow.”

If Soroka, who signed for $9 million over the offseason, is indeed activated off the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday’s finale against the Guardians, the Nats will have to choose someone to lose his starting job between Brad Lord, Trevor Williams or Mitchell Parker.

Lord is 1-3 with a 4.43 ERA and 1.574 WHIP over his five starts. Williams is 2-3 with a 5.86 ERA and 1.613 WHIP in seven starts. Parker is 3-2 with a 3.48 ERA and 1.210 WHIP in seven starts.

During his rehab assignment, Soroka didn’t really tinker with anything in his arsenal. He was mostly focused on ramping up and getting back to where he was when he was having a strong spring training.

“Just getting back to where I was,” he said. “I started spring training at a really great place, and lost a couple things. And obviously, I mentioned some other stuff that came up that we were taking care of. But no, as far as pitches and mechanics goes, just kind of getting back to where I'd started the camp, because I was in a really good place. So I feel like I did that and ready to go.”

Ready to go as in starting a major league game again?

“I think that's physically where I'm at,” Soroka said. “We'll see where we go from there.”
