Michael Soroka Being Shut Down For Rest Of The Year
1 year agoAtlanta Braves right-hander Michael Soroka (forearm), who was placed on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday with right-forearm inflammation, will be shut down for the remainder of the year. However, the inflammation in his arm was the only thing that tests showed, which should be taken as a positive for the oft-injured pitcher. The absence of structural damage should mean the 26-year-old will be ready for the start of spring training next year. Soroka's first big-league season since 2020 didn't go as hoped, as he posted a bloated 6.40 ERA (6.57 FIP), 1.48 WHIP, 12 walks and 29 strikeouts in 32 1/3 innings pitched over just seven outings (six starts). He was better at Triple-A Gwinnett, going 4-4 with a 3.41 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, 28 walks and 92 K's in 87 innings over 17 starts.
