Reyna Carranco’s return date is unclear; Jenna Kean stepping up in her absence

The Arizona Wildcats are currently without star second baseman Reyna Carranco, and it’s unclear when she will return to the lineup.

The sophomore took a 70 MPH fastball to the face last Friday when the Wildcats in Washington.

The blow left Carranco with a concussion and facial fracture, which required surgery.

“The concussion is the one thing that’s holding her back,” Arizona head coach Mike Candrea said. “I think once she gets cleared from the concussion, she can start doing some stuff.”

Candrea is encouraged by the progress Carranco has made since the injury, but admitted it could take some time for her to regain her usual form.
