The 27-year-old Soriano has a 9-6 record from 22 starts this season. He has a 3.29 earned-run average with 127 strikeouts and 57 walks over 123 innings pitched.
Toronto also optioned right-handed pitcher Lazaro Estrada to triple-A Buffalo. Estrada appeared in four games this season with a 0-0 record and 4.82 earned-run average over 9.1 innings pitched.
