Grubbs is expected to make a full recovery, but Saturday’s news ended the right-hander’s collegiate career. Grubbs will be honored later today as part of the Longhorns’ Senior Day festivities.<\/p>\n

This season, Grubbs posted a 2-0 record and 5.52 ERA over 29 1\/3 innings and 19 appearances. Grubbs elected to return to Texas this season after a solid showing during a 2025 season in which he went 6-2 with a 2.84 and became one of UT’s most-reliable options out of the bullpen. An Arlington native, Grubbs served as the Longhorns’ Friday starter for a portion of the 2024 season<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Without Grubbs, No. 6 Texas (39-12) will still have plenty of options in the bullpen<\/a> for the SEC Tournament and\u00a0NCAA Tournament. Grubbs, however, would have provided Texas with valuable experience. Over the past two seasons, Grubbs pitched in three NCAA Tournament games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the postseason on the horizon, the Texas baseball team has lost a veteran presence in its bullpen.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":296331,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[10732,107949,107948,27,29,537,28],"class_list":["post-296330","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-college-station","tag-grubbs","tag-max-grubbs","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-longhorns","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/296330","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=296330"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/296330\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/296331"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=296330"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=296330"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=296330"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
