TORONTO – Cubs right-hander Michael Soroka went through a weighted ball workout on Wednesday, he said, a precursor to the beginning of his throwing program. He’s scheduled to start playing light catch on Thursday, 10 days after he left his Cubs debut with a strained right shoulder.
“It’s feeling really good,” Soroka said. “We’re doing good things to make it progress. Just got to keep on that track, and we’ll be back.”
The Cubs aren’t expected to rush Soroka’s ramp up, even with less than seven weeks left in the season.
