The Rangers are now targeting a July 1 return for Soria.","date":"Mon Apr 22"},"fullName":"Joakim Soria","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Soria, who underwent Tommy John surgery last April, was signed to a two-year, $8 million deal in December by the Rangers, who hope to have him ready to contribute in a setup capacity by June. He managed 160 saves for the Royals from 2007-11, thanks to a mid-90s fastball and cutter that spawned 9.73 strikeouts-per-nine innings and 3.92 K's-per-walk ratios. Whether Soria will return to that form quickly upon his return -- if at all -- is a fair question, and he'll pitch half his games in a ballpark that leans significantly towards hitters. Still, he's a capable ERA/WHIP/K's helper to stash in AL-only leagues with multiple DL spots, and considering the advancing age of the closer ahead of him (Joe Nathan), he might even figure into the saves mix by year's end.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Feb 21"}}
