— FSU Baseball (@FSUBaseball) April 16, 2026 FSU’s rotation is a little banged up but Bryson Moore could be available this weekend: Link Jarrett on rotation vs. ND: “We’ll TBD (Bryson) Moore. He’s got a mild, little tender oblique. He’s on track with his throwing but the bullpen tomorrow will be significant to see if he’s on schedule. We have options, that’s why we had Cooper (Whited) shorter on Tuesday.”
