Throwing sim game Saturday Soroka (Achilles) will throw in a simulated game Saturday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Soroka threw two innings during a simulated game Sunday, and he'll have another throwing session less than a week later. The right-hander has progressed well in his recovery from a torn Achilles tendon, but Atlanta still hasn't provided a timetable for his return.

Throws two innings Sunday Soroka (Achilles) pitched two innings during a simulated game Sunday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Soroka had been taking part in fielding drills to begin spring training while working his way back from a torn Achilles tendon, but he progressed in his recovery Sunday. An official said that the right-hander looked "very good" during his outing, especially for a pitcher who hasn't appeared in a game in seven months. His velocity was slightly below his average speed, but the official said that the below-average velocity was to be expected at this point in his recovery. Soroka still doesn't have a timetable to return to the starting rotation, but he's made good progress in his recovery so far.

Looking good in fielding drills Soroka (Achilles) has been taking part in fielding drills in camp without any issues, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. "I think he's right on time with everything [the trainers] are...

Impact The right-hander's availability for Opening Day remains in question, but so far Soroka has passed every test as he completes his recovery from last year's torn Achilles tendon. Expect the team to be cautious with the 23-year-old no matter how he looks throughout camp, however. Soroka's forte is generating weak contact, not striking hitters out, so Atlanta won't want to take any risks when it comes to re-injuring himself while fielding his position.

Impact It's still not clear yet whether Soroka will be ready for Opening Day, and Atlanta isn't going to rush his recovery from last year's Achilles surgery, but so far the 23-year-old's progress has been smooth. The next step for Soroka will be to pitch off a mound, potentially followed by some Grapefruit League action.

Opening Day status still unclear Soroka is making good progress in his recovering from Achilles surgery but isn't a lock to be ready for Opening Day, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Soroka was shut down with an Achilles tear after just three starts last season and underwent surgery in August. Atlanta is primarily concerned at the moment with his ability to cover first base and run out of the box as a hitter. While he hasn't had any setbacks, the team is likely more concerned with the 23-year-old's long-term future than it is with maximizing his number of starts this season. His expected return date should become clearer as camp progresses.

Picks up win in arbitration Soroka (Achilles) defeated the Braves in arbitration Saturday and will make $2.8 million this season, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Atlanta had filed for just $2.1 million. Soroka's case was presumably based on his strong showing prior to last season, as an Achilles tear ended his 2020 campaign after just three starts. He underwent surgery in August, and while he's been able to throw off flat ground for several months, it's not yet guaranteed that he'll avoid a trip to the injured list to start the year. His status should become clearer once he arrives at camp.
