Michael Soroka To Come Off Injured List And Start On Wednesday
Michael Soroka (biceps) will come off the injured list and start on Wednesday against the visiting Cleveland Guardians. The plan is to move rookie right-hander Brad Lord back to the bullpen. The move comes after Soroka threw a successful bullpen session on Monday. The 27-year-old Canadian has been out since early April due to a strained biceps that he suffered in his lone start of the season on March 31 against the Toronto Blue Jays, when he allowed four earned runs on five hits (one homer) while walking one and fanning three in five innings for a loss. In his three minor-league rehab starts with Double-A Harrisburg (two starts) and Triple-A Rochester, Soroka allowed five earned runs while walking five and punching out 18 in 12 innings. Soroka is still young, but he has limited upside and has been injury-prone in his career.
