What’s the timeline on Cooper Moore?

There isn't a lot of info out there. On 3/20, he left the game early with "tricep soreness". Jay said then that Moore would miss 2-3. Then last week, Jay said this...

“There will be a progression in coming back, it’s not going back to five innings … right out the chute,” Johnson said. “But anything we can get out of him will be valuable.

“He’s not going this weekend on the trip (to face Tennessee). He’s not going to pitch this weekend. I think next weekend (Ole Miss) we’ll see, but that would be a stretch. But I hope we have him available in some capacity the following weekend (A&M).”

This is very typical for Jay. He keeps tight-lipped about injuries, which is certainly understandable. Timelines usually get pushed back. I hope that Moore will be back for A&M, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's longer. We need him back in full capacity before the postseason. We've managed to win the two series that he missed, which is pretty huge.
