Lands on 45-day injured list Soroka (Achilles) was placed on the 45-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact The move was an expected one after the young righty was ruled out for the season with a torn right Achilles tendon Monday. He's expected to undergo surgery within the next week. Chad Sobotka and Huascar Ynoa were recalled by the Braves, though both have been exclusively relievers at the big-league level, so it remains unclear who will take his spot in the rotation.

Set for surgery Soroka will undergo surgery on his torn right Achilles tendon within the next week, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Soroka landed awkwardly after throwing a pitch Monday against the Mets and had to be helped off the field. He'll miss at minimum the rest of this season, and a longer recovery timeline could see him miss time at the start of the 2021 campaign as well. The Braves have yet to announce who will take his place in the rotation.

Mets beat Braves 7-2; Atlanta ace Soroka tears Achilles

AUGUST 4, 2020 • Associated Press

Suffers torn Achilles Soroka suffered a torn right Achilles tendon in Monday's game against the Mets and will miss the rest of the season.

Impact This was the worst-case scenario, but it seemed likely given the fact that Soroka couldn't walk off the field under his own power. He suffered the injury while bouncing off the mound to field a groundball. In 2015, Adam Wainwright missed five months with a torn Achilles while Jason Grilli missed nine. Zach Britton missed almost seven months in 2018 after undergoing the procedure. Ian Anderson and Tucker Davidson are options to be promoted from the Braves' alternate training site to take Soroka's spot in the rotation.

Impact Soroka wasn't quite as effective as in his Opening Day start, but he exited the game with a chance to win after tossing 82 pitches -- 49 for strikes -- in 5.1 frames. The right-hander breezed through four scoreless innings before allowing an unearned run in the fifth inning and putting the first two runners on base in the sixth, both of whom came around to score after Soroka's departure. Soroka's next scheduled start will come at home Monday against the Mets.
