Michael Soroka exited his Chicago Cubs debut after two innings on Monday, and the right-hander is headed for the injured checklist due to proper shoulder soreness.
Supervisor Craig Counsell introduced postgame that the workforce would substitute the newcomer on the roster.
“Look, you are feeling unhealthy for Michael first and simply hope that there is just a few discomfort there and a pair weeks can maintain it,” Counsell mentioned. “That is the place we’re at. We’ll have to attend to get extra data earlier than we all know what we’re coping with.”
Soroka mentioned he was nice till, within the second inning, he “went to go put a little bit additional on a fastball and it grabbed me a little bit bit.”
He did not assume the problem is said to the decreased fastball velocity he skilled in July earlier than the Washington Nationals traded him to the Cubs on Thursday in alternate for 2 minor league prospects, outfielder Christian Franklin and infielder Ronny Cruz.
“There was no motive to imagine there was something mistaken,” Soroka mentioned.
Soroka, pitching Monday on his twenty eighth birthday, allowed only one hit, a solo house run by Tyler Stephenson. Ben Brown took over on the mound to begin the third, and the Cubs went on to lose 3-2.
By means of 17 begins this yr, Soroka is 3-8 with a 4.86 ERA.
The opposite beginning pitcher within the Monday sport, Cincinnati left-hander Nick Lodolo, left the competition early on account of a blister on his left index finger.
With two outs within the backside of the second inning, Lodolo motioned to the Reds’ dugout after throwing a first-pitch strike to Justin Turner. Nick Martinez then changed Lodolo on the mound.
Lodolo retired all 5 batters he confronted, placing out one. The 27-year-old has pitched a career-high 129 2/3 innings pitched, compiling an 8-6 file and a 3.05 ERA.
