Braves place pitchers Michael Soroka, Collin McHugh on IL
The Atlanta Braves placed right-handers Michael Soroka and Collin McHugh on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.
Soroka has right forearm inflammation and McHugh is dealing with right shoulder inflammation.
Soroka, 26, who was called up Tuesday to start against the St. Louis Cardinals, lasted just three innings and allowed five runs on four hits, including the two homers. He was pulled from the game after experiencing numbness in his fingers. The righty is 2-2 with a 6.40 ERA in seven games (six starts) this season after missing 2021 and 2022 with injuries.
Braves manager Brian Snitker said he asked Soroka about the numbness and the right-hander said he "didn't really know when it started."
