Ole Miss will be without one of its top pitchers for the rest of the season.
The school announced on Tuesday that Gunnar Hoglund will undergo surgery for a UCL tear in his throwing arm. The injury is a blow to the Rebels’ starting rotation, which Hoglund was the Friday starter.
Hoglund came out of last Friday’s game at Texas A&M after 18 pitches in the first inning of the Rebels 9-8 loss. Following the game, head coach Mike Bianco said during the post game press conference that Hoglund was feeling tightness in his forearm during the pre-game bullpen and then into the first inning.
