A projected weekend starter for Clemson baseball will miss the season after suffering a serious arm injury that requires surgery. Clemson’s pitching staff has taken a significant hit as freshman right-hander Dane Moehler announced he will miss the season due to injury. Moehler revealed that he suffered a torn UCL during his final intrasquad scrimmage before the season began and will undergo surgery to repair it. Despite the setback, he remains optimistic about his recovery and plans to return next year.
In a message shared on social media, Moehler wrote, “After suffering a torn UCL in my last outing, I’ve decided to undergo surgery next week to be back on the mound next season. Go Tigers!”
Originally expected to play a key role in Clemson’s weekend rotation, Moehler’s absence leaves a notable gap in the Tigers’ pitching staff. Now, the focus shifts to his recovery as he works toward a comeback in 2026.
