Burroughs also says star outfielder Cole McConnell will not play this season. He was suspended indefinitely prior to the season after driving in a school record 76 runs last season.

LSU freshman pitcher Chase Shores will miss the rest of the season, because he tore a ligament in his throwing elbow. Shores reportedly underwent surgery last week and the Texas native will likely miss next season too.
