Mississippi State baseball ace Nate Dohm not included in weekend rotation for LSU series

Mississippi State baseball ace Nate Dohm is not listed in the Bulldogs' rotation for the upcoming weekend series against defending national champion LSU.

Dohm, who owns a 1.50 ERA in 24 innings this season, left last Friday's start against Evansville with apparent discomfort in his throwing arm.

"I think he had a little zinger," MSU coach Chris Lemonis said afterward. "He was tired, but he just felt a little zing. He didn't feel like it was anything major. I'm not a doctor, but if he doesn't act like it's a big deal, I'm not going to act like it's a big deal."

Sophomore Evan Siary is expected to start in Dohm's place against LSU (16-2). Siary has allowed three earned runs in six innings this season. None of his four outings for Mississippi State (13-5) this season has lasted more than two innings.

Khal Stephen and Jurrangelo Cijntje will retain their slots as the Bulldogs' Saturday and Sunday starters.

First pitch Friday is scheduled for 6 p.m on SEC Network+.
