Soroka to DL; Freid up from Gwinnett

Soroka to the 10 day DL with shoulder injury

[bravesfanforlife88]

Calling it a "shoulder strain" DL is retro to May 14th

[GeorgiaGirl]

Soroka to the 10 day DL with shoulder injury

Sigh.

Well, folks are going to get their wish with seeing Max Fried then!

[Ozzie Swanson]

Ugh, hopefully Soroka isn't hurt too badly.

[bravesfanforlife88]

per Bowman, expectation is for Soroka to be ready to make his next start

[Southcack77]

I was wondering earlier today if Soroka would need to pitch well today to stay in the rotation.

[Enscheff]

Soroka to the 10 day DL with shoulder injury

Fuuuuck.

[msstate7]

per Bowman, expectation is for Soroka to be ready to make his next start

And Swanson was available to PH that weekend after he left game. I don't always believe injury reports by braves

[nsacpi]

shoulder inflammation

If you squint hard enough there is a bright side. Having some early season events that limit the innings of both Soroka and Gohara might end up being a plus if we have a post-season run. I have a feeling that one or both of Soroka/Gohara will end up being among our best 4 starters by the end of the season.

Exactly my thought when I saw Bowman's tweet. I'm going to be pretty nervous until Soroka returns.

[CJ9]

Also interesting that this comes after Soroka's command was not sharp at all over the last two starts.

[Russ2dollas]

Fuuuuck.

are we sure this is real and this is not the dodgers use of the 10 day DL to keep innings down?

[Hawk]

Yeah, maybe (hopefully) this just a made up 'injury'.

[chop2chip]

This also could be the Braves abusing the 10 day DL rule.

I’ll worry when it’s time to worry

[nsacpi]

could also be trying to build up Fried's trade value

[thethe]

I see this as a rest vacation but the command issues were glaring the last 2 starts.

[thethe]

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Yeah I’ve got a feeling they’re just limiting his innings

[CJ9]

That's why I'm not really buying the "rest" thing. If it was that, it would be a weird time to rest him after just three starts in the big leagues and only 37 innings on the season.

[chop2chip]

Well one thing is for sure. Our esteemed group of journalists at the AJC and MLB.com won’t be ever to drill down the actual cause for this DL stint.

[bravesfanforlife88]

Bowman has reason to believe it's not serious....

:Bowman:

[bravesfanMatt]

I hate everyone. This is bull crap. This better not be serious.

[jpack1]

Shoulder issues are not good. Not good at all.

[bravesfanMatt]

Shoulder issues are not good. Not good at all.

Torn shoulders are not good. Pulled muscles are fine. But I always assume the worse.

[UNCBlue012]

Sigh.

Well, folks are going to get their wish with seeing Max Fried then! YASSS. Sucks to see Soroka go down, though.

[GovClintonTyree]

Torn shoulders are not good. Pulled muscles are fine. But I always assume the worse.

Most likely a labrum tear that they'll reduce by cauterizing the inside of the socket resulting in a loss of 5-7mph on his fastball.

[Managuarantano's Volunteers]

Braves Live made it sound like Soroka isn't seriously injured, just doesn't feel 100%

[striker42]

You do see more starting pitchers getting put on the DL with it being changed to 10 days. Instead of bumping a guy or skipping a start you DL them and they still only miss one start.

[clvclv]

Tomorrow could be interesting...

Wisler's turn in Gwinnett tonight if he's not scratched. Gohara, Fried, and Anibal not stretched out enough to be good options (haven't even seen whether Sanchez is even throwing).

Allard's turn is tomorrow on regular rest, and the big club's site still lists tomorrow's starter as TBD.

Just sayin...

Wouldn't Julio be on normal rest Saturday?

[Orphan Black]

Sanchez has thrown in a simulated game and will throw a bullpen session today.

[jpx7]

Wouldn't Julio be on normal rest Saturday?

Yea, I’m not sure why mlb.com has TBD listed; ESPN has Teheran listed as scheduled.

[Garmel]

Wisler is pitching tonight.

[clvclv]

Wisler is pitching tonight.

Correct - that's why I said that if he's not scratched, Allard might have just had his initials changed to TBD.

They pretty much shocked everyone when the suddenly promoted Soroka, what's to keep them from doing it again?

[Enscheff]

Besides the fact that they have 2 MLB pitchers on full rest ready to go?

Nothing.

[JohnBoy]

All of this recent starter turnover has the makings of a big (potential) trade. With 7-9 solid starting pitcher options and 3 (Soroka and Newcomb and Gohara (with literally a second-helping of risk for him)) having very high ceilings, the Braves are well-positioned to turn some pitching depth into something better on the left side of the infield, the bullpen, and maybe even at C. World Series baby!

good first post...welcome to the boards

TheThe out recruiting.. love it.

thethe is a great recruiting asset

[JohnBoy]

And crap, sort of. No way they trade Dansby now. He just bought Varsity hot dogs for 900 people at the Battery.

I guess I could live with a trade for Machado (for 3B), plus a negotiating window, with the plan to move Riley to LF and Acuna to RF. That would do alright.

[cajunrevenge]

This might be the first year posting going back to scout that I didnt see a long thread arguing that we need like 15 good SP to last a full season. So the depth must be crazy good.

[CJ9]

So we’ve already gone from “Soroka will be ready for his next start” to Gohara taking his place.

[thethe]

Is that what's been reported?

Soroka can't pitch Wednesday... won't have been 10 days

[TheBravos]

Soroka can't pitch Wednesday... won't have been 10 days

If Gohara does well, I’m not so sure he will be back up For a while. I think they wanted to give him a cup of tea to see how he did before they trade McCarthy/Julio at the deadline.

I think he showed them enough to make moves.

The best way to go get a reliever, etc at the deadline is moving those two guys and Wisler. No need to trade prospects.

[bravesguy]

Soroka can't pitch Wednesday... won't have been 10 days


What was written was that Gohara will pitch Wednesday, and Soroka will then pitch in that positions next occurence (as Gohara goes home to be with his family).

That does beg the question though, if Gohara pitches well (like his 7+ relief innings) what will they do 2 weeks from now when he returns.

If Soroka has pitched well enough to earn the spot (paraphrased from Snitker)...then Gohara pitches at least as well, what to do with him. Good problem...not enough rotation spots.

[thethe]

We should not be surprised if either Teheran or folty are traded in the next few weeks

[TheBravos]

We should not be surprised if either Teheran or folty are traded in the next few weeks

Folty?? McCarthy and Julio would be the first to go. It would have to be a slam dunk to move Folty at this point. Folty has the most years of control left and the highest upside (even though he is a head case).

[msstate7]

We should not be surprised if either Teheran or folty are traded in the next few weeks

I will be very surprised if that happens in the next few weeks

[GeorgiaGirl]

I sincerely doubt we see any moves made rotation wise until after the break and if so, it might well be some stuff that some don't like.

[Southcack77]

We should not be surprised if either Teheran or folty are traded in the next few weeks

We actually would be very surprised.

[AerchAngel]

I wouldn't be surprised if Newcomb and Teheran is moved in the next few weeks.

[msstate7]

I wouldn't be surprised if Newcomb and Teheran is moved in the next few weeks.

I would. The braves are in 1st place. Why would they do that?

[mfree80]

I would. The braves are in 1st place. Why would they do that?

I think AA was mocking thethe a little... thethe's scenario is a little less unlikely, but I suspect we are still a ways away from moving any pitchers. Will probably happen at some point though. Some team will have a pressing need for a starter, and the Braves have a few right now that could be made available for the right price.

[AerchAngel]

I would. The braves are in 1st place. Why would they do that?

Just like Thethe said about Folty.

Running board joke that Thethe and his puppet Wowwow hates Folty and don't want him on the team even though he has been pretty good.

They are our future, Folty better stuff with a 10 cent head, Newcomb good stuff a good head somewhat but a bit wild if under pressure.

[Southcack77]

Folty fifth in K rate with a FIP well under 3.5.

[msstate7]

Folty fifth in K rate with a FIP well under 3.5.

Just wish somehow, someway that folty and newcomb could become locks for 6 innings and 7 here and there

[thethe]

Can't wait till we get a haul for him

Newks4been a 6 inning pitcher this year

[msstate7]

Newks4been a 6 inning pitcher this year

When he starts a game though, it's always iffy if he will give us 6 in my mind anyway. I love the guy too

[thethe]

He still has a long ways to go but he has been essentially a lock to go 6 this year

[AerchAngel]

Can't wait till we get a haul for Newcomb. He is pitching tonight to get that package for us.

[nsacpi]

Can't wait till we get a haul for Newcomb. He is pitching tonight to get that package for us.

gonna be a yuge haul
