Soria Back This Weekend?
By: mbohn
Joakim Soria took his first steps towards returning from the Prior List yesterday. Dude threw from flat ground, and basically just played catch for a while. While it went well, with no reported issues yesterday, they want to wait until today to make any decisions on his next step. He is eligible to come off the Prior List on Saturday, but I would not expect him back until next week sometime at the earliest. He will need to get his arm ready to close again, and possibly work some rehab games to see how he feels.Obviously, getting Soria back on your squad would be huge. Dude is one of the top closers in all of baseball when he is healthy, but be careful with him this season. His arm troubles worry us here at The Sports Idiot, as we have been high on Soria for a few years now. Stay tuned.
