Career Over for Rivard, Major Injury Tuesday, April 8th, 2025 The Purdue Boilermakers clubhouse was subdued this afternoon after Jérémie Rivard was seriously injured making a defensive play during the game against the Texas Longhorns. Rivard was taken to a local hospital for examination. This morning, doctors confirmed the preliminary diagnosis of a concussion. They said Rivard will undergo surgery in the near future. This type of injury, they said, will require extensive rehabilitation. For all intents and purposes, his career in baseball is over. It remains to be seen how Rivard's loss will affect the rest of the team. The Boilermakers owner, when reached for comment, said he planned to visit Rivard later today. "It's a sad day for us," he said. "We've lost a class individual. I hope that we can keep him in our organization in some capacity. Jérémie still has a lot to contribute to our baseball team." This year Rivard is hitting .267 with 8 hits, 1 home run, 3 RBIs and has scored 5 runs. |
