Mike Soroka will undergo exploratory surgery on his Achilles tendon after feeling discomfort over the last week. It will be his second surgery in the last nine months. His 2021 season is likely over before it ever began, although the club has not confirmed he is done for the year.
Last August, Soroka tore his Achilles tendon and missed the remainder of the shortened 2020 campaign. After slowly bringing him along this spring, Soroka appeared to be in the clear with the Achilles but then began to feel shoulder discomfort — something he has dealt with in the past — and was shut down for four weeks.
