The Washington Nationals agreed to a one-year contract with former All-Star right-hander Michael Soroka on Thursday.
Financial terms were not disclosed by the team, but multiple reports said the deal was worth $9 million.
Soroka, 27, will join his third team after missing the 2021 and 2022 seasons due to multiple Achilles injuries.
After a promising 2019 season that saw him selected to the All-Star Game, Soroka tore his Achilles tendon on Aug. 3, 2020, and did not appear in the majors again until May 29, 2023, following multiple setbacks.
After spending most of his career with the Atlanta Braves, Soroka joined the Chicago White Sox in 2024. He went 0-10 with a 4.74 ERA over 25 appearances (nine starts) while playing for the club that went on to break MLB’s single-season loss record (121).
Soroka’s career major league marks include a 17-18 record with a 3.67 ERA, 284 strikeouts and 111 walks in 69 games (52 starts). In his dominant 2019 season, he finished 13-4 with a career-low 2.68 ERA, with 142 strikeouts and 41 walks in 174 2/3 innings.
