The Texas baseball<\/a> team announced on Monday that shortstop Adrian Rodriguez is considered “week-to-week” as he addresses the re-aggravation\u00a0of an injury to his left hand.<\/p>\n

Twenty-seven games into his sophomore season, Rodriguez is hitting .271 with a team-high 10 doubles and eight stolen bases. Despite hitting in the heart of the Texas lineup, Rodriguez has not yet\u00a0homered and he has produced just 18 RBIs.<\/p>\n

Defensively, Rodriguez has posted a .974 fielding percentage in his first season as the Texas shortstop. He has committed two errors.<\/p>\n

Texas will debut its Rodriguez-less lineup at home Tuesday against Texas State<\/a>. Rodriguez has been UT’s starting shortstop in all of its games, but starting third baseman Temo Becerra<\/a> played that position for multiple seasons at Stanford. If\u00a0Becerra shifts to shortstop, Texas could conceivably move first baseman Casey\u00a0Borba back to third base since that’s where Borba played last year<\/a>. That could open up reps at first base for Wichita State transfer Josh Livingston.<\/p>\n

Ranked No. 2 in the D1Baseball poll, Texas (23-4) has SEC series at South Carolina and Texas A&M scheduled during the next two weeks. Following last week’s sweep of rival Oklahoma<\/a>, UT is 7-2 in its conference games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Texas baseball team announced on Monday that shortstop Adrian Rodriguez is considered “week-to-week” as he addresses the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":227104,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[67089,2845,27,29,537,20340,28],"class_list":["post-227103","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-adrian-rodriguez","tag-college-baseball","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-longhorns","tag-texas-longhorns-baseball","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227103","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=227103"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227103\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/227104"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=227103"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=227103"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=227103"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
