Braves manager Brian Snitker backtracks after saying Mike Soroka was out for the season

Similar to 2020, 2021 is shaping up to be a lost season for Braves ace Mike Soroka. The 23-year-old right hander tore his Achilles tendon last season on Aug. 3, his third start of the shortened season. The thought was Soroka would be back at some point early this season, but he's suffered a series of setbacks in his attempted return. On Friday, manager Brian Snitker initially said on MLB Network the expectation is that Soroka won't return this season.
