From the Advocate this morning. Wonder who he's talking about.

Third baseman Christian Ibarra expects to start in Friday night’s game at Vanderbilt, but Mainieri said Thursday afternoon that the decision on that — and another player — have not been made.
Ibarra missed the past three games with a “tweaked” right hamstring, an injury suffered in Saturday’s win over Purdue.
Mainieri suggested that another everyday starter was “nicked up” and that the staff would make a decision on that later. He would not reveal the identity of the player.
Ibarra, meanwhile, said he’s healthy enough to play.
“I’m ready to go,” Ibarra said. “I’m starting (Friday).”

I'd like to see Fraley in the lineup, but Mainieri wants to take it slowly with him. Fraley has more upside than Robertson, another freshman in the lineup who has gotten a lot more playing time.

No rush on Fraley
Freshman reserve Jake Fraley has driven in nine runs, scored eight himself and has reached base 10 times this season.
Those stats don’t seem impressive until knowing this: Fraley has just 10 official at-bats.
He’s batting .600 with an on-base percentage of .714.
“What can you say about Jake Fraley? My goodness,” Mainieri said. “Every time we give him a chance, he’s hitting the ball hard.”
Can he work into the group of 11-12 starters?
Maineri doesn’t want to rush Fraley along. The coach suggested that Fraley is the heir apparent to Sean McMullen and/or Mark Laird, who is a draft-eligible sophomore.
“He’s got a future here,” Mainieri said. “McMullen’s a senior. We don’t know if we’ll lose Laird to the draft. We don’t need to rush him along.”

Can't confirm but I'm hearing Joe Broussard might have a family issue. I'm not sure if that's who he's talking about though
