ATLANTA -- Former All-Star Michael Soroka is done for the season, but he did receive a bit of good news in that his latest injury apparently won't require surgery.
The Atlanta Braves placed Soroka on the 15-day injured list Wednesday in another setback for the right-hander whose once-promising career was sidetracked by a pair of major leg injuries.
After undergoing a battery of tests, the Braves medical staff determined that forearm inflammation was the cause of numbness in Soroka's fingers. No tears were found, leaving rest and rehab as the most likely path to recovery.
