| Player Notes |
| July 31, 2006 The Cardinals acquired Jorge Sosa from the Braves for minor-league pitcher Rich Scalamandre, according to ESPN. Sosa, who is 3-10 with a 5.46 ERA in 26 games (13 starts) this year, will pitch in a middle relief role for the Cards. |
| July 30, 2006 As expected, the Braves designated Jorge Sosa for assignment Sunday, according to the AP. Sosa spent time as a starter, a middle reliever and a closer in 2006, but he struggled in each role. |
| July 30, 2006 The Braves could release Jorge Sosa to make room in the bullpen for the newly-acquired Danys Baez, according to then Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Sosa is 3-10 with a 5.46 ERA in 26 games (13 starts) for the Braves this year. |
| July 27, 2006 Jorge Sosa left Thursday's game with an injury while facing his second batter in the ninth inning, according to the AP. The nature of the injury isn't currently known. |
| July 20, 2006 Jorge Sosa is out as the closer for the Braves now that the team has acquired Bob Wickman. Sosa will move to middle relief or go back into the rotation. |
| June 25, 2006 Jorge Sosa picked up his first save of the season Sunday against the Devil Rays. It appears that Sosa, who was making his second appearance since being demoted to the bullpen, will serve as the Braves' closer for the time being. |
| June 22, 2006 The Braves have decided to move Jorge Sosa to the bullpen, according to the team's official website. Manager Bobby Cox said that Sosa would be used in the eighth or ninth inning but did not specify if Sosa would get a chance to serve as the closer. But with Chris Reitsma on the DL and Ken Ray struggling, it seems likely that Sosa may get some chances. |
| May 24, 2006 With John Smoltz's next start being pushed back one day, Jorge Sosa could start on three days rest on Saturday in Chicago, according to the AP. Horacio Ramirez is also a possibility, but he would have to be activated from the DL. |
| May 15, 2006 Although the Braves haven't said so publicly, they may replace Jorge Sosa in the rotation with Horacio Ramirez as soon as Ramirez is ready to come off the disabled list, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Sosa is 0-5 with a 6.52 ERA this season, and Ramirez is expected to make just one more rehab start before returning to action. |
| April 25, 2006 Jorge Sosa will make his scheduled start for the Braves on Wednesday as planned, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He was originally in danger of having his place in the rotation skipped over, but John Smoltz decided he'd make his next start on six days' rest Friday, one day after Thursday's off day. |
| April 24, 2006 Jorge Sosa will probably only get a start this week if John Smoltz decides to take advantage of the Braves' day off Thursday and start Friday instead of Wednesday, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. If Smoltz opts to start Wednesday, Sosa likely will have his turn in the rotation skipped this week, though there's a chance he could start Friday. |
| April 19, 2006 The Braves have a day off Thursday before beginning a three-game series in Washington on Friday night, so Jorge Sosa will be skipped the next time through the rotation, according to the AP. Kyle Davies will start Sunday against the Nationals, and Sosa will pitch Tuesday night in Milwaukee on seven days rest, said manager Bobby Cox. |
| April 1, 2006 Jorge Sosa will definitely begin the year in the Atlanta rotation now that John Thomson has been moved to the bullpen. However, if Sosa struggles, he could get the quick hook. |
| March 30, 2006 The Braves have had discussions about moving Jorge Sosa to the bullpen in order to open up a spot in the rotation for Kyle Davies, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. If John Thomson ends up landing on the 15-day DL, though, both Sosa and Davies will have starting jobs. |
| February 26, 2006 The Braves are hoping that the Dominican team will use Jorge Sosa as a starter in the World Baseball Classic, so the pitcher can get ramped up for the regular season, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "If he's going to relieve for three weeks [in the WBC], he's not going to be ready to start" when the season begins, manager Bobby Cox said. |
| January 21, 2006 Jorge Sosa agreed to a $2.2 million, one-year deal with the Braves on Saturday, according to the AP. He went 13-3 with a 2.55 ERA last season. |
