USC sophomore outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. will be out four to eight weeks with a broken right hand.

Bradley, a consensus Freshman All-America selection in 2009, had a productive first season with the Gamecocks batting .349 (89-for-255) with 11 HR and 46 RBI and played in all 63 games on the year with 61 starts.

Bradley ended the season on a high note as well with a productive NCAA Regional in Greenville, N.C. as he hit .500 (9-for-18) for the weekend with a pair of homers and eight runs scored as well.

This is not good news for a Gamecock baseball team that will already start the season without slugging first baseman Nick Ebert, who is out indefinitely because of an academic issue.
