UT's Newstrom sidelined for MSU series amid internal matter
Chris Newstrom is sidelined for Tennessee’s three-game series at Mississippi State due to an internal matter, with the absence not expected to be long-term. He’s batting .180 in 26 games (15 starts) and hasn’t started since March 22, going 0-for-18 in SEC play. Tennessee (21-12, 4-8 SEC) faces No. 9 Mississippi State (26-7, 7-5) in Starkville, as coach Josh Elander says the team will continue to give him opportunities as he works to improve.
