UP NEXT:
Braves: Pushed back a day when Soroka was called up, LHP Sean Newcomb (1-1, 4.23 ERA) pitches the middle game of the series Wednesday night. He is 1-2 with a 2.78 ERA in four career starts against the Mets, with 27 strikeouts in 22 2/3 innings.
Mets: RHP Jacob deGrom (3-0, 2.06) has thrown 14 1/3 consecutive scoreless innings and allowed only one extra-base hit to a right-handed batter this season. He tossed seven shutout innings with 10 strikeouts in a no-decision April 21 at Atlanta. The 2014 NL Rookie of the Year is 5-3 with a 1.99 ERA in 12 starts vs. the Braves, including a 1.38 mark in four outings at home, and hasn't lost to them since June 2016.
TRAINER'S ROOM:
Braves: Soroka's contract was selected from Triple-A Gwinnett, allowing Atlanta to give Julio Teheran an extra day of rest before his next start. Teheran left Friday's outing with back tightness, but threw a bullpen Sunday and is slated to pitch the series finale Thursday afternoon. "He's fine. He's doing everything," manager Brian Snitker said. ... Snitker wouldn't commit to Soroka making more than a spot start in the majors. RHP Anibal Sanchez (strained right hamstring) threw about 60 pitches in a simulated game against teammates at Citi Field and could be ready to come off the DL to start Sunday at home against San Francisco. "He looked really good," Snitker said. ... RHP Shane Carle was removed after throwing two pitches in the seventh. He experienced numbness in his right index finger and thumb.
Mets: Cespedes hurt his left thumb sliding headfirst into third on a double steal Sunday in San Diego. He was pulled from the game and said afterward he thought he would miss three days. But the slugger soon felt fine when playing catch and hitting off a tee and didn't even need an MRI, Alderson said. ... Syndergaard pitched on regular rest in place of LHP Steven Matz (stiff back), who was skipped in the rotation and rescheduled to start Saturday against Colorado. Matz felt a little tender Monday after throwing his bullpen Sunday and wasn't available out of the bullpen, manager Mickey Callaway said. "We feel it won't be an issue by tomorrow," Callaway said. ... RHP Anthony Swarzak (strained left oblique) and C Kevin Plawecki (broken left hand) are healing slower than hoped, Alderson said.
