Soria (finger) was activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Soira landed on the shelf with inflammation in his right middle finger after making his Blue Jays debut in early August, but he's now back on the active roster. The veteran right-hander could operate as the primary setup man for closer Jordan Romano with Brad Hand struggling since being acquired from the Nationals.

Soria (finger) will throw live batting practice Monday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Soria didn't experience any issues following Friday's bullpen session, so he'll face hitters Monday for the first time since he was placed on the injured list Aug. 4. If the right-hander feels good following Monday's throwing session, the Blue Jays are hopeful that he'll be able to be activated shortly after without requiring a rehab assignment.

Soria (finger) threw a bullpen session Friday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Soria landed on the injured list Aug. 4 with inflammation in his right middle finger. The veteran right-hander hander resumed throwing last week, and he's now progressed to mound work. It's possible that he'll be activated later this weekend so long as he comes out of Friday's session with no problems. Soria figures to be given plenty of high-leverage opportunities after being reinstated.

Soria (finger) has resumed throwing and could be activated during the upcoming homestand that begins Friday against Detroit, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Soria is pain-free and nearing activation. He currently sports a streak of five straight scoreless innings with eight strikeouts and three saves over that stretch. Jordan Romano has been working as Toronto's closer, but he doesn't have a firm grip on that job. Regardless of his role, Soria should work in high-leverage spots once healthy.

Soria was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with right middle finger inflammation.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran right-hander was acquired from the Diamondbacks on Friday and debuted for the Blue Jays on Monday, but he's dealing with a finger issue after debuting with his new team. It's unclear how long Soria is expected to be sidelined, though he won't be eligible to be activated until Aug. 13 in Seattle.
