South Carolina could be without closer Tyler Johnson for an extended period of time after he left USC’s game with Clemson Saturday afternoon with arm soreness.
Speaking on 107.5 The Game on Monday, Gamecocks coach Chad Holbrook said USC will not rush its hard-throwing righty back to action.
“There's nothing at all structurally weak with his arm. He is in fine shape. It’s one of those situations where we’re not going to put him out there while he’s not feeling well,” Holbrook said. “If he’s sore we’re going to ere on the side of caution because Tyler’s got a bright future in front of him.
