“I have no idea who’s gonna start on Sunday, did we not announce TBA?” ASU head coach Tracy Smith looks around the room for approval after Friday’s game against Oregon State. “So, I’m wondering why you’re asking me who’s gonna start on Sunday. Read our game notes.”
Smith smiles with the crowd of reporters, but losing a weekend starter this far into the season is no laughing matter.
After suffering a shoulder injury in his start at USC, ASU starting pitcher RJ Dabovich missed his Sunday start against the fourth-ranked Oregon State Beavers.
Tracy Smith confirmed that Dabovich will play again this season, but the Sun Devils will have to be “cautious” when thinking about returning Dabovich to action.
