Braves news: Mike Soroka out until at least June; Sean Newcomb likely back Friday

Mike Soroka began throwing this week for the first time since being shut down with shoulder inflammation earlier this month, an encouraging sign for the young righty. But given the time it will take to build up his strength, the earliest we can expect to see him is mid-June.

Soroka started playing catch again yesterday. The Braves aren't putting a timetable on his return. He's basically starting his normal preparations again. Once he completes sides and live BPs, he'll have to make 4-5 starts. So, second half of June might be his earliest return.
