FWST: TCU scales back on pitcher Mitchell Traver after soreness

TCU has reduced Mitchell Traver’s throwing because of soreness and now doesn’t expect him to pitch until May, coach Jim Schlossnagle said.

“I’d like to get him one start, maybe, before the conference tournament and then have him in the tournament and then if we’re in the postseason,” Schlossnagle said. “I was kind of hoping we might be able to use him this weekend or next, but obviously that’s a long shot right now.”

But the development of freshman left-hander Dalton Horton has helped settle the rotation in the meantime, giving TCU and Traver time.
