Michael Soroka left his debut at the Chicago Cubs after two rounds on Monday, and the right -hander heads for the injured list due to the right pain of the shoulder.
Director Craig Counsell announced after the match that the team would replace the newcomer on the list.
“Listen, you feel bad for Michael first and just hope that there is just a certain discomfort there and a few weeks will be able to take care of it,” said Counsell. “This is where we are. We will have to wait to get more information before we know what we will face.”
Soroka said he was fine until, in the second round, he “was going to go put a little more on a quick ball and that it caught me a little”.
He did not think that the problem was linked to the decrease in the rapid ball speed he knew in July before the Nationals of Washington led him to the Cubs Thursday in exchange for two minor leagues prospects, the Voltger Christian Franklin and the inner field player Ronny Cruz.
“There was no reason to believe that there was something wrong,” said Soroka.
Soroka, launching on Monday to her 28th birthday, gave only one blow, a Home Run solo by Tyler Stephenson. Ben Brown took over on the mound to start the third, and the Cubs lost 3-2.
Up to 17 departures this year, Soroka has a 3-8 file with an MPM of 4.86.
The other launcher leaving in the match on Monday, the left -hander of Cincinnati, Nick Lodolo, left the competition early due to a bulb on his left index.
With two withdrawals at the bottom of the second round, Lodolo signaled to the Reds canoe after launching a strike in the first round to Justin Turner. Nick Martinez then replaced Lodolo on the mound.
Lodolo withdrew the five strikers he faced, withdrawing one. The 27-year-old launched a career summit of 129,2/3 sleeves launched, compiling a file of 8-6 and an MPM of 3.05.
