Coughs up four runs Soroka (0-1) allowed four runs on five hits and two walks over six innings Monday, striking out three and taking a loss against Oakland.
Impact Soroka made his first MLB start since 2020 after a string of ill-timed injuries. He worked through four shutout frames before being tagged with four runs in the fourth, including a three-run shot by Ryan Noda. Soroka threw 83 pitches and his fastball topped out at 95.7 mph. Prior to his season debut Monday, he posted a 4.33 ERA through eight Triple-A starts. The 25-year-old is currently projected to start in Arizona this weekend.

Called up ahead of start Atlanta recalled Soroka from Triple-A Gwinnett ahead of his scheduled start Monday in Oakland.
Impact The 25-year-old will get a favorable landing spot as he makes his first big-league start since Aug. 3, 2020, taking the mound in a pitcher-friendly park while facing off against an Oakland offense that ranks 24th in the majors in wRC+ (88). Soroka's overall numbers over his eight starts at Gwinnett this season aren't eye-popping, but he looked particularly strong during his most recent two outings, covering 10.2 innings and striking out 13 while allowing just two runs on four hits and four walks. He'll tentatively line up for a two-start week as he slots into the Atlanta rotation, with his second turn expected to come this Sunday in Arizona.

Starting Monday vs. Oakland Soroka will be recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett by Atlanta on Monday for a start against the Athletics, Jim Bowden of The Athletic reports.
Impact It will be the first MLB start for Soroka since 2020, as the right-hander missed the last two seasons while recovering from multiple Achilles injuries. In his eight starts with Triple-A Gwinnett, Soroka has posted mediocre numbers with a 4.33 ERA with a 35:11 K:BB and 1.33 WHIP, but he's allowed just one run in his last two starts, and he fired six innings against Triple-A Durham on Tuesday while striking out eight. Soroka was once among the top young hurlers in baseball, and the 25-year-old will get a soft landing with a start against the woeful Athletics on Monday.

Could get call next week Soroka had his best start this season Tuesday for Triple-A Gwinnett, allowing one run over six innings while striking out eight, and he could join the Atlanta rotation next week, M...
Impact The team's current plans call for Dylan Dodd to get called up for Thursday's start while Jared Shuster gets another turn Friday. If Soroka stays on a five-day schedule he would be in line to make his next start Sunday, but he could instead join the big-league roster in Oakland to take the hill Monday or Tuesday. The 25-year-old right-hander last pitched in the majors in August 2020, missing most of the last two seasons while recovering from multiple Achilles tears and other related njuries stemming from his lower-body issues. Through eight starts at Triple-A this year, Soroka has a 4.33 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 35:11 K:BB in 35.1 innings.

Staying in Triple-A rotation Soroka is scheduled to start for Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday night, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Impact There had been some chatter about Soroka potentially getting the call to start for Atlanta on Sunday versus the Blue Jays, but the 25-year-old right-hander will take at least one more turn in the Gwinnett rotation. He's healthy but is showing an iffy 5.23 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB through 20.2 innings (five starts) so far this season at the Triple-A level.

Skipping next Triple-A start Soroka's next start with Triple-A Gwinnett has been pushed back from Tuesday to Sunday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Impact Thankfully, it has nothing to do with injury. Rather, it's part of Atlanta's plan to skip some of Soroka's starts this season as a way to limit his workload following so much missed time. Soroka has looked sharp at Gwinnett, putting up a 1.32 ERA and 13:4 K:BB through 13.2 innings over three starts. He looks ready to help the major-league club, when needed, and it's possible he could get a start during the team's current stretch of 17 games without a day off.
