Baseball player Jose Soriano of the Angels suffers an injury after being hit by a comeback pitch, prompting his departure from the game.
The Los Angeles Angels' season took a significant blow on September 17, 2025, as their second-best starter, Jose Soriano, was hit by a line drive during a game against the Milwaukee Brewers.
The incident occurred in the bottom of the second inning at American Family Field, when a 107-mph comebacker from Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jake Bauers struck Soriano in the ribs. The hit loaded the bases for the Brewers, and they capitalised on the opportunity, scoring five runs and establishing a commanding lead.
Soriano, who was the starting pitcher for the Angels, was immediately removed from the game due to the injury. The exact nature of the injury and the padding in the area where he was hit are not yet clear.
The Angels entered the game with a 69-82 record, remaining at the bottom of the AL West. Despite some trade deadline moves, the team's performance in the second half of the season did not improve, and they were mathematically eliminated from the playoffs on September 17, 2025.
The injury to Soriano may have contributed to the Angels' struggles against the Brewers. The team's chances of setting the MLB record for most strikeouts in a single season were also affected, as they were 145 strikeouts away from the record at the time of the incident.
The current coach of the Angels following Soriano's injury-related absence is not specified in the available search results.
The Angels' poor performance in the second half of the season may have been due to the trades made at the deadline. The team will now have to regroup and focus on rebuilding for the next season without their second-best starter.
