Could return in late August GM Alex Anthopoulos said the team is "optimistic" Soroka (Achilles) could be activated from the injured list by late August, Jeff Schultz of The Athletic reports. Impact The 23-year-old was seemingly ruled out for the season by manager Brian Snitker during a television appearance in late May, but those comments were quickly walked back, and the organization is now publicly expressing optimism about the right-hander's outlook for later in 2021. However, until Soroka resumes throwing, especially off a mound, it's worth maintaining a healthy dose of skepticism as he recovers from a second procedure on his Achilles in mid-May.
