No update on closer's condition

FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas Razorbacks baseball Coach Dave Van Horn gave no updates Monday on the condition of ace closer Matt Cronin, who did not pitch during the team's three-game sweep over Alabama last weekend.

On Friday, Van Horn said Cronin was ill and left off the weekend roster, and team medical personnel thought he might have contracted mononucleosis. Van Horn said test results for the illness were expected Monday.

The Razorbacks are using a closer by committee approach in the absence of the left-hander Cronin, who is second in the SEC with nine saves. Junior right-hander Jake Reindl saved Friday's 7-3 victory and Sunday's 9-7 victory, while junior righty Barrett Loseke saved Saturday's 7-4 victory.
