Jose Soriano, who came to the Pittsburgh Pirates in the Rule 5 draft in 2020, was sent back to the Los Angeles Angels yesterday, per Jack Harris of the L.A. Times. Soriano, who at one point was considered a top pitching prospect with a phenomenal fastball poised for a lot of Ks, underwent his second Tommy John surgery in as many seasons earlier this year, which doesn’t bode well for his future.
