OTF Premium Two quick baseball injury/health notes before the OU series (Wednesday, 2:32 p.m.)

[Jeff Howe]

One of the reasons why Jim Schlossnagle gave Carson Tinney what was supposed to be a night off in Tuesday’s 9-7 loss to Houston was due to the All-American catcher taking a foul ball to the hand early in Sunday’s 5-0 series-clinching win over Auburn.

Schlossnagle said during his media availability at UFCU Disch-Falk Field on Wednesday that Tinney experienced some swelling and soreness in his hand after the game. Still, he was able enter Tuesday’s game as a late-inning replacement for Andrew Ermis.

Schlossnagle expects Tinney to be full go when No. 2 Texas opens a three-game SEC series at home against No. 8 Oklahoma on Thursday.

The same can’t be said for freshman pitcher Michael Winter, who remains unavailable with an undisclosed sickness. Winter visited with a doctor on Wednesday and although Schloss able said they’re waiting on test results before determining Winter’s status for the series, he said it’s hard envision Winter giving the Longhorns anything of significance since he’s been off his normal prep work for a weekend series.
