In return, Toronto sends shortstop prospect Arjun Nimmela, minor-league outfielder Eddie Micheletti and teenage right-hander Angel Rivero to Los Angeles. esporist.org

Soriano, who is under team control through 2028 and earning just $2.9 million this season, is having a career-best campaign with a 3.29 ERA. The 6-foot-3 right-hander joins a Blue Jays rotation that includes Dylan Cease but will lose Shane Bieber to free agency after the season.
