Atlanta starter Mike Soroka’s comeback attempt has hit a snag. Soroka experienced right shoulder discomfort during his recent simulated game and was shut down for two weeks, manager Brian Snitker said Wednesday.
Soroka has been working his way back from a torn Achilles suffered in his third start last season. He was expected to rejoin the rotation this month if he continued progressing. Instead, he had a setback Tuesday at the alternate training site, leaving his simulated start after one inning.
“He has some right shoulder inflammation,” Snitker said. “There’s no structural damage, but they’re going to shut him down for two weeks and treat him and get back at it.
