The Injury Bug has Taken Another Hit to Miami Baseball
The Miami Hurricanes (19-8, 2-4 ACC) are on the road to kick-start their series against the Clemson Tigers, but they will have to do it without several star players.
Head coach J.D. Arteaga confirmed that Miami's ace AJ Ciscar will not be available against the Tigers due to a bicep strain. The Hurricanes will also be without outfielder Michael Torres for a few weeks, thanks to a knee strain he suffered against Creighton.
However, there is some positive news. First, freshman lefty Sebastian Santos-Olson will get the start for the Canes while Rob Evans continues to man the Saturday slot. Sunday will remain TBH, the Canes will be adding an arm while losing one.
Arteaga also confirmed that Florida transfer Frank Menedez will be available for the first time this season during the Tigers series.

Another positive is Canes left fielder Max Galvin being moved up from the injury report, as he will start batting again after being in a boot the past month due to a foot injury.
The Hurricanes continue to rotate players in and out of the lineup, and without the healthiest roster, the Canes continue to show fight. Now they battle the Tigers for their first ACC series win of the season.
Miami is led by explosive offensive firepower. Daniel Cuvet is chasing history as the sole home run king in Hurricanes history, while Derek Williams continues to be a monster hitter behind him. The lineup presents itself as dangerous.
