According to D1Baseball's Kendall Rogers, Rodriguez will be sidelined for at least two to three weeks, and while he doesn't lead the Longhorns , his timely hitting and defensive prowess will be missed against South Carolina this weekend before heading to College Station for the first time in two seasons. For the Aggies, coach Michael Earley and pitching coach Jason Kelly must do a better job managing the pitching rotation, while starters Shane Sdao, Weston Moss, and Aiden Sims need to last at least five or six innings to give the bullpen, only if the offense continues to produce similar to this weekend's performance.

Texas A&M will face Texas in Game 1 on Friday, April 10, with the game airing on the SEC Network. INJURY NEWS: @TexasBaseball SS Adrian Rodriguez will miss 2-3 weeks due to a minor hand procedure.
