Antoine Duplantis likely to miss Team USA season with shoulder injury

Antoine Duplantis' summer with Team USA is already over. The LSU outfielder injured his left shoulder Tuesday (June 26) in a collision with the left field wall.

LSU coach Paul Mainieri told Baseball America's Chris Trenkle that Duplantis' AC joint in his shoulder is likely separated. He said it should take three-to-four weeks to heal, and Duplantis is probably done with Team USA this summer.

Mainieri is serving as manager of the Collegiate National Team. He said Duplantis should be fine for next season.

The collision came during an exhibition game between the Collegiate National Team and the USA 18U trials team.
