Goodheart, a preseason All-SEC pick as a designated hitter/utility player, missed the Razorbacks’ first five games due to a health issue. Goodheart declined to go into detail, but Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn described his problems last week as "stomach issues."
Goodheart did not travel with the team for the College Baseball Showdown in Arlington, Texas, last week. He didn’t play in the Razorbacks’ first two games against SEMO despite Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn saying he had been cleared to play before the series.
Following Saturday’s game, Goodheart said he had taken batting practice just once the previous week, on Thursday.
