Another Braves player recovering from injury, infielder Orlando Arcia, went 2-for-4 with a double and scored a run in his first rehab game with Gwinnett.

Soroka, trying to return to the majors after he twice sustained a torn right Achilles, gave up all four runs in the second inning. Ex-Braves teammate Johan Camargo had an RBI single off Soroka.

Soroka allowed four hits, walked three and struck out three. He was scheduled for 75 pitches in his third rehab start and left after that number. He threw 47 strikes.
