News of a setback in Mike Soroka’s recovery could alter Braves’ plans for the Opening Day

Just last week, I wrote about how the Braves could creatively juggle their pitching staff to allow Mike Soroka, Touki Toussaint, and Max Fried spots on the Opening Day roster and innings throughout the season. That was before news broke that Soroka had a setback of sorts with his throwing shoulder.

Last Friday, Mark Bowman reported that Soroka would be shut down temporarily with shoulder discomfort after a side throwing session. On Sunday, Bowman reported that the injury was to a different set of muscles than the injury that ended his 2018 season.
