PHOENIX (AP) — Right-hander Michael Soroka and the Arizona Diamondbacks finalized a $7.5 million, one-year contract on Friday.

The 28-year-old Soroka is expected to bolster the back of the D-backs’ starting rotation. He was 3-8 with a 4.52 ERA last season, starting 16 games for the Washington Nationals before getting traded to the Chicago Cubs, where he pitched mostly out of the bullpen.
