NORTH PORT, Fla. — At least it wasn’t the shoulder, or the elbow, or the Achilles tendon. That was my thought when I heard the Braves shut down Michael Soroka soon after he showed up for spring training. A tight hamstring is nothing in comparison with all the other ailments that have prevented Soroka from pitching in the big leagues since 2020.
Still, it is something.
“It’s a kick in the groin,” Soroka said Tuesday at Braves camp.
