5 years agoAtlanta Braves starting pitcher Mike Soroka (forearm) is expected to make his scheduled start Friday versus the Mets. Soroka exited his start Sunday after only two innings after being hit by a pitch in the arm. He played catch Tuesday and reported some soreness but has apparently improved enough to be named the starter for the series opener at New York. The 21-year-old righty has been great for fantasy this season with a 2.07 ERA and a .97 WHIP. The numbers look sustainable as well as his FIP of 3.07 is very good and a 10.7 percent swinging strike rate. The Braves will certainly use caution with their young pitcher, but he should be in fantasy lineups assuming he pitches.--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBaller
