TCU first baseman Luken Baker suffered a hairline fracture, ligament damage and slight muscle tearing in his left arm when a baserunner ran into him last week at Oklahoma, but the Horned Frogs have not ruled him out for postseason.
TCU coach Jim Schlossnagle said Baker will be fitted for a brace, and a second MRI will be taken Tuesday to see if the injury was not as severe as first believed.
“Austin O’Brien, the Oklahoma first baseman, had a similar injury — Baker’s is a little more extensive — but O’Brien was back in 23 days, so we’re holding out hope that he can play in a regional,” Schlossnagle said.
