Look, I get it that Pete's getting a half day off so Taylor had to go in center. That still doesn't excuse Pedro Ramirez not getting some run out in left. He's tied for 3rd in wRC+ on the team with Pete in the 2nd half, and probably most importantly he doesn't have a 48 wRC+ against LHP this year

Likely top-10 player in CBB when fully healthy. Illinois is not disclosing a timetable for Mirkovic's return, which isn't immediately encouraging. Hopefully he's back in the fold before December.

Starting forward David Mirkovic is out indefinitely with a left foot injury that required surgery.
