BATON ROUGE, La. –The recuperative period for LSU junior right-hander Anthony Ranaudo has been extended by one week, coach Paul Mainieri said Monday.
Ranaudo is experiencing discomfort in his throwing elbow that has been diagnosed as a stress reaction.
Mainieri said Ranaudo tested the elbow Monday in Alex Box Stadium by throwing a baseball for the first time in two weeks.
“Although Anthony felt it was much improved, he was still experiencing some of the same symptoms when he threw the ball today,” Mainieri said. “Therefore, we’re going to wait another week before deciding when he will return. We were hopeful he could pitch this weekend against Kansas, but we’re not going to put him on the mound until he feels 100 percent. We’ll evaluate Anthony’s condition again at this time next week.”
