LSU's 25-man active roster for the weekend series against Mississippi State:

Micah Gibbs
Sean Ochinko
 
Infielders
 
Matt Clark
Buzzy Haydel
Michael Hollander
D.J. LeMahieu

The five players who will be in uniform but not on the active roster for the three games:

Shane Ardoin
Kyle Beerbohm
Taylor Davis
Rene Escobar
Kevin Farnsworth

Home teams are allowed to have 30 players in uniform for SEC games, but both teams are limited to the 25-man active roster they turn in during the pregame meeting with umpires on Friday nights.

Jason Lewis, who has not participated in practices or games this year but is considered part of the program while still in school at LSU, will dress out Saturday for Senior Day ceremonies but will not be in uniform at any other time during the weekend, Paul Mainieri said. Beerbohm is the other senior not on the active roster.

Byrd replaces Ardoin on the active roster. Otherwise, it's the same as last weekend at Kentucky.
