Texas baseball ace Jared Spencer left Thursday's game against Auburn due to arm soreness, as confirmed by Longhorns coach Jim Schlossnagle. Spencer exited the game after allowing a home run and experiencing a drop in fastball velocity, prompting his removal from the game for precautionary reasons.
Despite concerns about starting Spencer on short rest, he insisted he felt good leading up to the game. However, his decreased performance led to his early departure. The Longhorns secured a 3-2 victory over Auburn, with Max Grubbs stepping in to pitch effectively in relief of Spencer. The team remains optimistic about Spencer's recovery, with ample time to rest before the next game.
