• Mike Soroka’s first rehab start was literally perfect news for Braves
• Mike Soroka’s first rehab start with High-A Rome could not have gone more swimmingly for the Braves. It was pretty much perfect. The goal of Mike Soroka’s first rehab start was really just to get him on the mound, let him pitch three innings, then move on to the next phase of his return. Simply getting him through 40 pitches would have been fine. He went and upped the ante with a performance to get the mouths of Braves fans everywhere watering. He pitched three innings of perfection.

• Eduardo Escobar dealing with oblique injury, so Mets keep him out of starting lineup against Braves
• Eduardo Escobar is still not 100 percent, and the Mets kept him out of the starting lineup on Tuesday in favor of Deven Marrero. Escobar hurt his oblique in the team’s game on Friday night, was kept out of the starting nine on Saturday and Sunday, and likely wouldn’t have played on Monday if not for Luis Guillorme’s subsequent groin injury. Guillorme got hurt on Sunday, and with the Mets having to immediately fly into Atlanta, they put Escobar back out there at third base on Monday. He went 0-for-4...

In the decade since retiring, Jones has not only been a first-ballot Hall of Famer, but has resurfaced as a pretty good baseball analyst, as well as an auxiliary hitting coach for the only team he ever played for. Never afraid to speak his...

• After playing like absolute trash in Queens last week, the Atlanta Braves responded by landing a 13-1 haymaker on the New York Mets in Game 1 of their latest rivalry series in The Battery.
