The Mike Soroka injury saga in 2021 has been a rollercoaster. Before the season, it looked like he could be a part of the rotation before May. Then he had a setback with his shoulder that shut him down. Soroka began throwing a couple of weeks later, and a return before the All-Star break still seemed very possible… until the Braves received arguably the worst news of the season.

Injured starter Mike Soroka is still taking things “week by week” in his recovery from a torn Achilles but he remains optimistic that he will be able to return at some point in 2021. Soroka suffered a setback in May when his recovery simply wasn’t progressing as well as he was expecting. That led to exploratory surgery which revealed that Soroka’s body had rejected the sutures that placed during the original surgery. That led to increased inflammation which was what was causing Soroka the issues in his recovery.

Sidelined Braves starting pitcher Mike Soroka spoke with reporters Thursday for the first time since he underwent exploratory Achilles surgery May 17. He said the key result of the surgery was the discovery that his body rejected sutures from a previous surgery, and that produced the setback he experienced in April and May.

The road back from a torn Achilles tendon has been a hard one for Mike Soroka, but it seems that things are once again progressing. Soroka spoke about his injury Thursday afternoon and went into detail about the exploratory surgery that he was forced to undergo last month. “I know...

Soroka is still wearing a protective boot following a second procedure on his Achilles tendon in late May, but he has resumed throwing exercises and the tendon itself is fully healed, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

The Atlanta Braves have heretofore been one of the biggest disappointments of the season. The Braves, who have won the National League East three years in a row, entered Tuesday 5 1/2 games back of the New York Mets with a 30-33 record. Even the Braves' run differential, minus-2, paints the team in an uninspiring light.

Atlanta Braves fans get good news about Mike Soroka, Travis d’Arnaud and Huascar Ynoa. In a season that has been nothing short of painfully frustrating, the Atlanta Braves are finally getting some good news on the injury front, regarding Mike Soroka, Travis d’Arnaud and Huascar Ynoa. Braves general manager Alex...

Braves fans are getting some optimistic news today, as General Manager Alex Anthopoulos told The Athletic that Mike Soroka, Travis d’Arnaud, and Huascar Ynoa could be back with the Braves in August. It was originally reported that Mike Soroka was done for the season after suffering a setback following his torn Achilles, but that report was eventually retracted.

GM Alex Anthopoulos said the team is "optimistic" Soroka (Achilles) could be activated from the injured list by late August, Jeff Schultz of The Athletic reports. The 23-year-old was seemingly ruled out for the season by manager Brian Snitker during a television appearance in late May, but those comments were quickly walked back, and the organization is now publicly expressing optimism about the right-hander's outlook for later in 2021. However, until Soroka resumes throwing, especially off a mound, it's worth maintaining a healthy dose of skepticism as he recovers from a second procedure on his Achilles in mid-May.

Three weeks after undergoing exploratory Achilles surgery, Braves right-hander Mike Soroka is doing well, manager Brian Snitker said Tuesday. “He’s progressing, and things are looking good,” Snitker said. “I mean, just for what little he’s doing. He’s still just doing the exercises and things, checking all the boxes, and he’s feeling good. There’s no timetables or anything like that. We’re not there yet. But his rehab has been really good so far.”

Similar to 2020, 2021 is shaping up to be a lost season for Braves ace Mike Soroka. The 23-year-old right hander tore his Achilles tendon last season on Aug. 3, his third start of the shortened season. The thought was Soroka would be back at some point early this season, but he's suffered a series of setbacks in his attempted return. On Friday, manager Brian Snitker initially said on MLB Network the expectation is that Soroka won't return this season.
