Right-hander Mitchell Traver could miss two weeks as TCU evaluates what caused him to cut short his Tuesday start against Rice after three batters.
Coach Jim Schlossnagle said Traver reported a “pull” in his back in the area where he suffered a muscle strain last year that caused him to miss the first two months of last season.
“He said he just felt a little pull back there in his lat, where he had that injury last year,” Schlossnagle said. “They’re hoping maybe it’s just a scar tissue thing. They’re hoping maybe it’s just two weeks, something like that.
