FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas is shutting down one of its top arms for a brief time.
Redshirt junior right hander Cody Scroggins will not throw in this weekend's series against No. 2 Mississippi State or next weekend's series against No. 22 Tennessee, Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn said Friday.
Scroggins, who had Tommy John surgery in 2017, began experiencing soreness in his elbow last week at Vanderbilt. Van Horn said it is not a significant injury.
"We’ve had it looked at and he’s fine," Van Horn said. "He just needs 10, maybe 14 days rest."
Scroggins has been one of Arkansas' most utilized pitchers this season with 10 appearances and seven weekend starts.
