The Chicago Cubs bolstered their pitching staff ahead of Thursday's trade deadline by acquiring right-hander Michael Soroka from the Washington Nationals on Wednesday night, according to multiple reports.
The Cubs are sending two prospects to Washington in return for Soroka: Triple-A outfielder Christian Franklin and 18-year-old Arizona Complex League infielder Ronny Cruz. Franklin and Cruz were Chicago's 14th and 13th-ranked prospects, according to MLB Pipeline.
Soroka, 27, has started 16 games for the Nationals this season, posting a 3-8 record with a 4.87 ERA.
An All-Star in 2019 with the Braves, Soroka missed the 2021 and 2022 seasons with Achilles injuries and was moved to the bullpen last season with the White Sox.
The Cubs have dealt with several injuries to their pitching staff this season and could look to add more arms before the 6 p.m. ET trade deadline on Thursday.
