Impact General manager Alex Anthopolous suggested last month that Soroka could return to the rotation by mid-April, but in light of this setback, that's out the window. All bets are off as far as a possible return date goes; Soroka will need time for the inflammation in his shoulder to calm down before he can ramp back up. He had been working his way back from a torn Achilles' tendon.

IL move official Atlanta placed Soroka (Achilles) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Impact The transaction was fully anticipated, as Soroka isn't expected to be ready to make his 2021 debut until late April while he nears the finish line in his recovery from the surgery he required last August to repair a ruptured right Achilles' tendon. At this stage, Soroka looks to be more focused on building up his arm for starting duty rather than strengthening the Achilles. After covered two innings in his Grapefruit League debut Tuesday, Soroka is expected to gradually increase his pitch count in 2-to-3 more simulated games at Atlanta's alternate site before receiving the green light to make his 2021 debut.

Satisfied with Tuesday's outing Soroka (Achilles) threw two innings in Tuesday's Grapefruit League finale and was happy with the results, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. "It was kind of nice that I got into troub...
Impact The right-hander did give up a solo homer to Boston prospect Jarren Duran, but Soroka struck out two batters in his first inning and then used his sinker to induce a game-ending double play from Jeter Downs in his second frame. It was Soroka's first game action since tearing his Achilles tendon last August, and while he will still need some time at Atlanta's alternate training site to continue his recovery, the team hasn't ruled out him rejoining the rotation before the end of April.

Game action coming Tuesday Soroka (Achilles) will throw an inning or two Tuesday against Boston, 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.
Impact Soroka has made slow but steady progress as he works his way back from Achilles surgery. He's seemingly avoided setbacks, but the team has been careful not to rush him. The fact that he's about to pitch in game action represents a significant step in his recovery process, though his expected return date remains unclear. The most optimistic timeline provided by the team would see him rejoin the rotation by mid-April, though a late April or early May return wouldn't be a surprise.
