It’s another tough break for 25-year-old Soroka, who suffered a pair of Achilles tears and has not pitched for the Braves since 2020. He logged 25 innings in the minor leagues in 2022 and was prepared for a 2023 season free of setbacks.
However, the Braves will kick off Spring Training without Soroka out of an abundance of caution.
