An MRI was performed, which revealed a complete re-tear of the tendon. Soroka will require season-ending surgery, which will be scheduled within the week.

Sigh.

Pain.

Steve Avery echoing thru my head.

Well it's time to never expect anything from soroka again.

With this kind of thing happening when he wasn't even being "active" - just an every day thing like walking - it's probably fair to wonder if he may be done for good I'm afraid.

[CyYoung31]

He’s done.

Great surgery, btw. Who’s this ****ing doctor?

[CrimsonCowboy]

Unbelievable

[CyYoung31]

And can we go one ****ing week without something terrible happening?

[Julio3000]

Just heartbreaking.

[MadduxFanII]

He’s done.

Look, he patched the tendon together with the highest quality chewing gum. Can't ask for much more than that.

Freeman gets caught with a prostitute next week.

Man I feel so bad for Soroka... he was primed to be a really excellent pitcher and seems like such a great guy.

[msstate7]

He’s done.

It was my first one. Give me a break... I did it half price

[Garmel]

Didn't the doctor(s) say his tendon was sound?

[TheBravos]

Guys…just wave the white flag already. It’s.not.our.year. At least let’s get this cursed mojo out all in one year.

I’ll say this, as much as we are upset….imagine being Soroka. I feel so bad for him. He’s likely done. I do not know of any pro athlete to come back from two of these (name someone if your can think of one).


Definitely sounds like a botched surgery, or maybe he is just very injury prone and his body can not handle it. Either way…such a shame. Absolutely could have been a higher tier pitcher in his era. Now he may never pitch again…wow.

Could be the second coming of Monty Stratton.

How does this happen. How does one guy break down like this. Just horrible for the guy.

How does this happen. How does one guy break down like this. Just horrible for the guy.

I think one of the contributing factors to this is that players are so much more athletic now and put so much more stress on their bodies. I that's exacerbated by the recovery schedules they put these guys through to get them back on the field.
