The Chicago Cubs have acquired pitcher Mike Soroka from the Washington Nationals for two prospects, it was announced Wednesday night.
Soroka, 27, is 3-8 with a 4.87 ERA in 16 starts while leading the league in hit batsmen with 14.
Soroka is a six-year veteran, having begun his career with the Atlanta Braves in 2018 before pitching for the White Sox last season and then signing a one-year deal with the Nationals for 2025. The righty didn't pitch in 2021 and 2022 because of repeated Achilles issues.
