The Orioles made another move with a potential impact on their bullpen.
Right-hander George Soriano was claimed on waivers today from the Marlins. The Orioles designated outfielder Daniel Johnson for assignment to create room on the 40-man roster.
Soriano, 26, has registered a 5.95 ERA and 1.475 WHIP in 72 games (one start) over the past three seasons. He’s struck out 117 batters in 118 innings. Soriano had an 8.35 ERA and 1,773 WHIP this year in 24 games.
The Marlins signed Soriano as an international free agent in 2015. He missed the entire 2017 season due to injury and 2020 after the pandemic forced the cancellation of the minor league season.
Soriano mostly used a slider/changeup mix this year but also incorporated a four-seam fastball and sinker. The mid-90s four-seamer was his primary pitch the two previous seasons.
