Michael Soroka

Soroka made 17 starts in 2025 between the Nationals and Cubs, which is the same number he made over the previous four seasons combined. While the righty managed just a 4.86 ERA in those outings, a 1.13 WHIP and 90:25 K:BB across 83.1 innings offered more promise. Soroka went down with a right shoulder strain after just one start following a trade to the Cubs, though he returned late in the year as a reliever. Still just 28, Soroka showed enough flashes in 2025 to make him an interesting late-round dart throw in fantasy leagues. That said, he hasn't reached 90 innings at the big-league level since 2019, so the odds that he'll be both healthy and effective throughout 2026 are long. Read Past Outlooks
