I sure hope a few weeks of rest will make a big difference, but what concerns me is that this is a recurring issue for Rogers. She showed in HS that she's plenty tough but once she returns to action, I wouldn't be surprised to see us limit her appearances to protect her arm.

July '18: ...a lingering injury on her pitching arm came back to impact her for most of her last high school softball campaign. “At the beginning of the season,” Ashley explains, “a stress fracture in my forearm that forced me to sit out all of last summer came back. I was so frustrated, for I knew that if I wasn’t pitching my best, we would not win another state title.”

The two-time Gatorade Player of the Year had a tough decision to face: end the season and heal or power through the pain. “The plan was for me to not pitch as much this season and share the load with our other pitcher, but she got hurt during an early season tournament. This forced us to limit our games and drop out of all remaining tournaments. I was pitching every game, and my arm was hurting me very badly.”

The pitcher remembers that she faced two options, neither one of them very pleasant. “I was torn on what to do,” she adds. “I could either go get it looked at by a doctor and end my high school career or continue to power through and hope it worked itself out.” Being her senior season, the Vols signee decided to play through the pain, although that meant that she would just participate in games and not be able to practice otherwise.

That inning at bat shows why UT doesn't beat really good teams. They cannot string hits together

From what I have heard first of March may be a little wishful thinking. Sure don't want her to come back until she can go!

Honestly impressed with their hitting and been really impressed with Bender. Seems like she may have been a steal for us. Rogers being hurt is only gonna help is in the long run. Great experience for the young pitching staff. Obviously, I think this game would look a lot different with Rogers pitching.

Wow, I really hate to hear that. For this team to be successful, they absolutely have to have Rogers. Of course her long term health is most important.
