Well crap, now I am really glad we didn't play Mcneese.

I hope its not serious

Purely precautionary, he will more than likely pitch a little this weekend.

This....is not good.

.@RaginCajunsBSB LHP Gunner Leger will be relegated to bullpen duty later in the weekend. Dealing with a sore back.

With it being a single Friday and DH on Sunday, pushing guys up doesn't have too big of an effect.

Lee will be on one fewer day's rest tonight but he's done that before on Easter weekend. Hogan will still be going on Sunday, it'll just be game 2.

Options for game 3 are good. Burk will be obvious choice if he's feeling OK or Schmidt for 3-4 innings. Guillory can probably go too since he threw 84 pitches on Tuesday.

No midweek next week so you have all hands on deck this weekend.

Can't really replace Gunner on the mound, but Nick will do fine and the bats will take up the slack. Hope Gunner's back gets better soon...

I guess if you could choose any weekend for this to happen, it would be this weekend with the postponing of this past Wednesday's game and no midweek next week. Although the opponent is tough this weekend.
