ATLANTA (AP) — Atlanta Braves right-hander Mike Soroka has experienced a setback in his recovery from surgery to repair his torn right Achilles tendon and will have a follow-up procedure next week.
Snitker said a strong start by Bryse Wilson in Tuesday night's 5-3 loss to Toronto was an encouraging sign of the team's pitching depth. Wilson allowed two runs in six innings following his recall from Triple-A Gwinnett. Wilson was optioned to Gwinnett on Wednesday as right-handed reliever Chris Martin was activated from the 10-day injured list.
Martin said Soroka's setback was “obviously a huge loss.”
“Hopefully he gets better and he can get back as soon as possible,” Martin said.
Snitker said no one incident led Soroka to seek a medical opinion on his recovery.
“There was something that wasn’t right, he could tell,” Snitker said.
