ATLANTA — Mike Soroka might be a little slower to return to the Braves than initially expected.
When he pitched a few days ago, Soroka was hit in the knee by a comebacker, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. The Braves don’t yet have a start date for his rehab assignment.
The knee is just bruised. It’s not thought to be a long-term issue, but the club is ensuring the young pitcher fully heals.
