Coach Brian Snicker said Monday that Mike Soroka, who has not appeared in an MLB game since 2020, is approaching a minor league rehab job while on his way back from his right Achilles twice. “It’s getting close,” Snicker said. According to 92.9 the game.
Initially, Soroka, still 24, tore his Achilles tendon covering first base on August 3, 2020, and needed end-of-season surgery. Then, in June 2021, Soroka tore his Achilles tendon again – he”I felt pop“While he was walking to the club – and required a second surgery. Soroka was approaching a minor-league rehab job at the time and the Braves were hoping he could be back in August.
Now nearly a full calendar year after Achilles’ second surgery, Soroka has already resumed facing the hitters, including throwing a live multi-round batting practice session at the team’s spring training complex on Saturday. Snicker explained that there is no set timetable for Soroka Stadium for a minor league match, only that it is about to become a reality.
When Soroka starts a minor league rehab assignment, he’ll start the 30-day rehab hour. Soroka can be activated at any time within 30 days, but except for a relapse, it can be activated no later than 30 days after the first rehabilitation match. Atlanta will make sure 30 days is enough time to get back into MLB readiness before starting this rehab hour.
The Braves currently have a full spin-off featuring Max Fried, Charlie Morton, Kyle Wright, Spencer Strider, and Ian Anderson. Anderson has struggled this year, and the team will have to keep an eye on Novice Strider’s workload. Also, Morton is 38 and not pushing him too hard would be smart. When the time comes, finding roles for Soroka won’t be difficult.
Soroka, the 2019 NL Rookie of the Year runner-up to Pete Alonso, threw 174 2/3 innings with a 2.68 ERA that season. This year was MLB Set all kinds of records that are played from home And Soroka, with a heavyweight, led the qualifying shooters with 0.72 HR/9. He has a 2.86 ERA career in 37 starts and 214 rounds spanning 2018-20.
