Florida baseball's starting pitcher Pierce Coppola appears poised to return to action
Florida baseball's starting pitcher Pierce Coppola appears poised to return to action The Florida baseball team may have gotten a big boost this weekend, as left-handed starting pitcher Pierce Coppola was removed from the SEC availability report ahead of the start of this weekend's series at the South Carolina Gamecocks. The 6-foot-8-inch southpaw originally out of Verona, New Jersey, has not thrown in a game since March 1, when he tossed 2 1/3 innings of scoreless, no-hit ball against the Miami Hurricanes. Coppola also walked two and struck out three in the no-decision effort before getting pulled a bit earlier than one would expect given his performance to that point. It turned out that the injury bug returned to haunt the redshirt junior, whose career has already been marred by physical ailments. Kevin O'Sullivan and the Gator Nation must be breathing a sigh of relief with his imminent return to the clay diamond during the home stretch of the regular season. Florida Gators listed on SEC Availability Report Meanwhile, Florida has six players listed "out" on this weekend's availability report — a few of whom are key members of the Gators' roster. Infielders Cade Kurland and Colby Shelton are on the shelf, while a whopping four left-hand pitchers are sequestered in the casualty ward: Jacob Gomberg, Niko Janssens, Frank Menendez and McCall Biemiller.

Here is the latest SEC Availability Report ahead of Texas A&M vs. Kentucky
Here is the latest SEC Availability Report ahead of Texas A&M vs. Kentucky Texas A&M (12-12, 0-6 SEC) will host Kentucky (15-8, 2-4 SEC) at Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park in Bryan-College Station in search of their first SEC starting on Friday night. Both A&M and the Kentucky Wildcats are fighting to avoid the bottom of the SEC standings. The Aggies have been plagued by injuries to several key players, which has only compounded their struggles to find consistent offense during SEC play. However, there's a silver lining, as sophomore standout and outfielder Caden Sorrell is set to return to the lineup in a limited capacity for the Kentucky series. His presence at the plate has been sorely missed, and any contribution he can make offensively will be a welcomed boost for the team. The starting rotation features ace Ryan Prager, along with Justin Lamkin and former Long Beach State veteran Myles Patton, who have delivered stellar performances this season. With the offense gaining momentum, the team has the potential to secure a winning streak. Before facing the Wildcats, the latest SEC Availability report revealed that the Aggies could be getting to players back in action. Gavin Kash and Caden Sorrell are listed as probable. Kentucky will be without outfielder Will Marcy. Texas A&M reliever Josh Stewart is out, while Luke Jackson remains under observation and is listed as questionable. With time running out, the Aggies need to get healthy quickly to have a chance at securing a bottom-seed postseason berth. Texas A&M will host Kentucky starting Friday, March 28, at 6:00 p.m. CT. The game will be streamed on SEC Network+. Contact/Follow us @AggiesWire on X and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Texas A&M news, notes and opinions.
