Texas Shortstop Adrian Rodriguez Listed Week-to-Week After Hand Setback

Texas faces a lineup reshuffle for SEC road series with its starting shortstop sidelined.

Overview

  • Texas said Adrian Rodriguez is week-to-week after a re-aggravated left-hand injury and he will sit out the Texas State home game as he has a surgical staple removed.
  • Rodriguez had hand surgery in Los Angeles last summer and played through pain during recent conference games.
  • Coaches are weighing a switch that moves Temo Becerra to shortstop, returns Casey Borba to third base, and opens first base reps for transfer Josh Livingston.
  • Through 27 games, the sophomore shortstop is batting .271 with a team-high 10 doubles, eight steals, and 18 RBIs.
  • Texas is 23-4 and ranked No. 2 by D1Baseball with road series at South Carolina and Texas A&M next, which puts more focus on how the Longhorns cover his spot.
