AUSTIN, Texas — The University of Texas baseball team will be without the services of catcher, DJ Petrinsky for the remainder of the season.
The senior from Magnolia, Texas suffered a torn labrum, which is a rubbery tissue which keeps the ball of a shoulder socket in place.
According to Texas baseball Head Coach David Pierce, Petrinsky will undergo surgery and will miss the rest of the season.
Petrinsky owns a .256 batting average this season through the first 13 games.
