Soriano signed with the Miami Marlins as an international free agent on August 19, 2015. He made his professional debut in 2016 with the Dominican Summer League Marlins.

Soriano missed the entire 2017 season due to injury and played with the rookie-level Gulf Coast Marlins in 2018. Pitching in 11 games (and starting 3), he logged a 1.91 ERA with 36 strikeouts in 42 innings of work.[1] He spent the 2019 season with the Single-A Clinton LumberKings, making 23 appearances (20 starts) and posting a 4-7 record and 3.91 ERA with 99 strikeouts in 119+2⁄3 innings pitched.[2]

Soriano did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] He returned to action in 2021 with the Single-A Jupiter Hammerheads and High-A Beloit Snappers, making 18 starts and registering a cumulative 3.43 ERA with 114 strikeouts in 89+1⁄3 innings of work.[4]

On April 10, 2023, Soriano was recalled and promoted to the major leagues for the first time after J. T. Chargois was placed on the injured list.[8] He made 26 appearances for the Marlins during his rookie campaign, recording a 3.81 ERA with 52 strikeouts and one save over 52 innings of work.[9]

Soriano pitched in 22 games for the Marlins during the 2024 season, compiling a 1-1 record and 6.75 ERA with 29 strikeouts and one save across 29+1⁄3 innings pitched.[10]

Soriano also made 24 relief outings for the Marlins, but struggled to an 8.35 ERA with 36 strikeouts and one save over 36+2⁄3 innings pitched.[12]
