While the Braves struggles overall are at the forefront of fans’ minds, the biggest news from Saturday was actually regarding a player that hasn’t played for the team all season and, as has often been the case in 2021, the news was a real gut punch. It was reported that Mike Soroka, who had literally just gotten out of his walking boot, re-ruptured his Achilles tendon. Not only did that end any speculation that he could be back this season, but also put his 2022 season and beyond in doubt.
Braves fans also heard that Tucker Davidson was examined and was not cleared to start throwing again which further explains why the Braves shifted him to the 60-day IL earlier this week.
