It's a right shoulder injury.
But the Tigers won't have further updates until Rainer is fully evaluated.
MORE ABOUT HIM: Bryce Rainer solves Tigers' shortstop problem if available in 2024 MLB draft
Rainer — whom the Tigers selected No. 11 overall in the 2024 draft — is hitting .288 with five home runs, 20 walks and 33 strikeouts in 35 games for Low-A Lakeland, getting all of his defensive reps at shortstop. His average exit velocity is 92.1 mph, which would rank among the top 50 MLB players.

Instant recap: LSU baseball beats Coastal Carolina in CWS Game 1 Final
Tigers Strike First@Monster_Milam99 | ESPN For the second time in three years, LSU is back in the College World Series finals. This year, the Tigers and Jay Johnson look to get revenge for the 2016 season. Kade Anderson would throw nine full innings and allow zero runs on three hits, 10 strikeouts, and five walks as he led the Tigers to a 1-0 win in Game 1. For the final time, Kade Anderson would trot out onto the mound to give it his all for LSU. He was fully rested and ready to give LSU a shot at starting this series 1-0. Two Chanticleer runners reached base in the top of the first, but neither of them was able to score. In the bottom of the first inning, LSU would draw first blood as Derek Curiel walked and Steven Milam hit an RBI single to bring him around to score and give the Tigers a 1-0 lead. In the top of the third inning, Coastal Carolina would get a runner in scoring position with two outs. They attempted a double steal, and Luis Hernandez made a great throw to Michael Braswell III, and the runner slid off the bag as Braswell secured the tag for the third out. Got 'Em@_lh_13 x @brazzy_11 | ESPN In the bottom of the third inning, Milam hit a double and then advanced to third on a wild pitch. Jake Brown struck out with two outs to strand him at third and keep the game 1-0. In the bottom of the sixth inning, LSU had another chance to score as Milam walked, and then an errant throw to first on a pick-off attempt almost resulted in extra bases for Milam, but the ball hit the umpire, so Milam was unable to advance. That proved costly as Hernandez hit a single that would have scored Milam had he been able to advance. Instead, LSU had runners on the corners with two outs, and Chris Stanfield grounded out to end the inning. In the bottom of the seventh inning, Daniel Dickinson was hit by a pitch on a 3-2 count, but after review, he was called out as it was determined that he leaned into the pitch for out number one. Braswell would ground out, Curiel reached on an infield single, and Ethan Frey was called out on a check swing for out number three. WhewLSU's Daniel Dickinson is called out after umpires reviewed this say he did it intentionally #CWS As we headed to the top of the ninth inning, LSU still led 1-0, and Kade Anderson once again went out on the mound to pitch. After a strikeout and a groundout, Coastal Carolina would get a walk to put a runner on first base with two outs. Anderson would get a flyout to right field for out number three! Anderson hurled the first complete game shutout since 2018 in Omaha! Game two of the series will be played tomorrow at 1 p.m. CT.
