Soriano Unlikely to Opt-Out of Yankees Contract
With all of the attention surrounding CC Sabathia and his opt-out clause it can be easy to forget that another Yankees has an opt-out clause, Rafael Soriano.

Standing Up for Rafael Soriano After a Tough Loss
Last night’s loss wasn’t a pretty one for Rafael Soriano and when you look at his season numbers, 2-2 with a 5.01 ERA, 17 K’s, 12 BB’s, there doesn’t look like too much to be happy about.
However, despite the ugliness of last night Soriano has actually been doing quite well lately. Entering last night’s game he had held batters to just one run...

Girardi Unsure About Soriano's Role When He Returns
From Alden Gonzalez:
Tuesday was the day Rafael Soriano made his first rehab appearance since landing on the disabled list with right elbow inflammation on May 17. But it wasn't the day Yankees manager Joe Girardi would say with any certainty that Soriano will reclaim his job as setup man upon returning. The way Girardi sees it, there's no need to jump the gun. "Look...

New York Yankees On the Verge of Acquiring Bullpen Help?
I used the term “acquiring” a bit loosely in the title. Forgive me if I got your hopes up or got your imagination rolling. When I talk about acquiring a talented relief pitcher, I’m talking about Rafael Soriano making his return to the New York Yankees’ bullpen. A lot of people refer to getting injured players back early on in the second half as “acquisitions...

Rafael Soriano to Visit Dr. James Andrews
Already out for some time with elbow issues, the New York Yankees’ Rafael Soriano will take a visit to see Dr. James Andrews. Dr. Andrews is kind of a grim reaper of sorts. Elbow injuries don’t threaten a career quite like they used to, but they certainly put a wrench in one and the name Dr. Andrews compliments Tommy John surgery like apple pie and ice cream.
