lost opening day starter Mike Soroka to a torn right Achilles tendon suffered on Aug. 3 against the New York Mets.Soroka's season-ending injury was only the most notable of a staggering series of setbacks that have rocked the rotation.Former ace Mike Foltynewicz was designated for assignment and then assigned to the team's alternate training site after he was not signed by another club.
The move came after the right-hander gave up three home runs, four walks and six runs in his 2020 debut, a 14-5 loss at Tampa Bay.Hamels, the left-hander signed to add needed experience to the rotation, has not pitched this season after having a sore shoulder in spring training and then developing triceps tendinitis.
