Worst Tragedy: Atlanta has officially entertained serious back pain” as another fresh hamstring strain emerg” toughest injury woes continue…
Injuries have plagued the Atlanta Braves from the beginning of the season. The Braves lost standout outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. and starting pitcher Spencer Strider for the season well before the All-Star break. The Braves’ season is going to be devastating when injuries to players like Reynaldo Lopez, Ozzie Albies, and Michael Harris II are added. Just when you thought things couldn’t get much worse, one of their injury reinforcements has developed a personal illness.
Braves outfielder Jorge Soler ground out in the team’s game against the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday, leading to his departure from the game in the fourth inning. The outfield player will have an MRI on Thursday after the original diagnosis of left hamstring strain. Even worse, this happened the day after Harris returned to action with a Grade 2 hamstring strain.
Braves’ injury problems persist as Jorge Soler leaves due to discomfort in his left hamstring.
Soler didn’t appear very concerned about the injury’s severity following the game. However, Soler sounded unsure when asked if he will be added to the injured list. With Acuña out for the season and Harris on the injured list, the Braves were struggling with injuries, so general manager Alex Anthopoulos called the Giants to try to reclaim Soler. During the 2021 season, Anthopoulos acquired Soler via trade, and he contributed to the team’s World Series victory. This gave the impression that the Braves were attempting to recreate the magic.
In 45 at-bats (13 games) since moving to Atlanta this season, Soler has amassed a batting average of.267, an on-base percentage of.400, a slugging percentage of.578, four home runs, eight runs, eleven RBI, twelve hits, fourteen strikeouts, and nine walks.
Soler is slashing on the season.244/.339/.438 in 386 at-bats (106 games), with 16 home runs, 51 RBI, 65 runs, and 94 hits. Although the Braves don’t think Soler had a major injury, they’ll wait to find out on Thursday after the MRI.
