A slew of ill-fated occurrences made landfall in Atlanta this week. DOB and EOF press through the news of Mike Soroka undergoing exploratory surgery. Why is the lefty undergoing this procedure? How much will this set the Braves' ace back? In other injury news, Ronald Acuna, after clobbering a lead-off homer in the series finale versus the Blue Jays, left the contest with an ankle injury. What's Ronnie's status? Is this a microcosm of Atlanta's season? Charlie Morton still owns a big-league pitching arsenal, but evasive command and inconsistent pitch sequencing are preventing him from achieving his true, best self. DOB spoke with the 37-year-old hurler about what he can do to get back on track. Plus, Cristian Pache lands on the IL, though his injury is just another setback in a trying year for the 22-year-old.
