In a recent discussion on Atlanta Braves baseball, Grant McAuley joined Andy and Randy to delve into the team's pressing issue with the pitching rotation. With four starting pitchers currently on the Injured List, including Kyle Wright and Max Fried facing extended absences, the conversation revolved around when the highly anticipated return of Mike Soroka could be expected.
Grant McAuley tells Andy and Randy, “I think it's just about having him up there, and giving him the adequate amount of time to fell like that he can do the things that he has done before and the things the Braves very much need him to do if he’s gonna be apart of this rotation…”, when asked about the the timeline of Soroka being inserted back into the starting pitching rotation.
Just yesterday, Soroka had a promising outing with the triple-A Gwinnett Stripers, where he exhibited his abilities with five strikeouts, retiring 12 of 13 batters faced, and throwing 83 pitches. This performance indicates that Soroka is steadily making progress towards his return and the Braves are willing to exercise patience to ensure his full recovery.
The conversation shed light on the Braves' pitching challenges and the positive signs surrounding Mike Soroka's potential comeback, which should leave fans hopeful for a strengthened rotation in the near future.
