Diamondbacks starter Michael Soroka walked off the field after hurting his hip while warming up to start the second inning against the Minnesota Twins on Friday night in a development that could further deplete Arizona's pitching depth.
The team announced that Soroka left due to discomfort to his posterior left hip.
The 28-year-old right-hander allowed two hits on nine pitches in a scoreless first inning. He came out for the second and appeared to hurt himself after one warmup pitch. Soroka met with a trainer before leaving the field. He was replaced by Taylor Clarke.
Outfielder Jordan Lawlar also left in the ninth inning with what manager Torey Lovullo said was a right hamstring strain.
Both Soroka and Lawlar will undergo MRIs on Saturday, which will determine if they need to go on the injured list, Lovullo said following his team's 9-5 win.
Soroka (8-3) leads the Diamondbacks in wins, though he has gone 4-3 in his last seven decisions following a 4-0 start. He has a 3.07 ERA.
His injury comes the same day right-hander Ryne Nelson was placed on the injured list with a sprained elbow and strained forearm. Nelson (3-5) experienced discomfort after going seven innings in a 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Monday.
"It's been brutal," Lovullo said.
