Good news has eluded the Diamond Hogs this past week, extending their losing streak to four games, but it’s followed with more bad news.
Tavian Joseberg has officially been ruled out indefinitely due to a hamstring injury he suffered during the Saturday game in the weekend series loss to Georgia. As a result, he didn’t travel with the team to Missouri State.
Injuries have plagued the Razorbacks all season, but it seems to have become a real problem within the last couple of weeks of games.
“We’re just trying to patch this thing together until we can get all of our guys back,” Van Horn said. “We’ve just got to win enough games to get to a regional because there’s going to be a lot of conference games played without our guys. We’ve got to find a way to win.”
The center fielder has been one of the more consistent players for the Diamond Hogs. Just three weeks ago, he was named SEC Player of the Week, putting together .571 BA, .657 SLG, 1.143 OPS with eight hits, including two doubles and two homers, and six RBI.
This makes two outfielders injured in the last two weeks, with Jared Wegner nursing a thumb injury. The Diamond Hogs host Texas A&M for a very important weekend series.
