In June, Twins center fielder Denard Span was involved in a play at the plate that left him with a concussion. He missed the next two months before returning on August 2, but soon after getting back on the field, Span began complaining of more concussion symptoms. Those symptoms have lately kept him out of the lineup, and Thursday they sent him back to the disabled list.
Denard Span Placed Back On Disabled List With Concussion Symptoms
It’s just more misery for Span, who’s ordinarily a terrific player, and who looked like he’d put this episode behind him. Some players recover from concussions quickly and show no ill-effects, but others get it much worse, and Span is among the latter group, and this issue does raise significant questions that weren’t there a few months ago.
Span owns an 88 OPS+ on the season. In his absence, the Twins are playing Ben Revere in center, and maybe one of these days Revere will hit a home run.
