In early June, Twins outfielder Denard Span was involved in a fairly mild home plate collision. Still, he came away complaining of some dizziness, and was soon thereafter placed on the seven-day concussion disabled list.
Denard Span Returns To Twins From Disabled List Tuesday
You’ll notice that it’s been many more than seven days. Those seven days are a minimum, but not a maximum, and only on Tuesday, August 2 is Span returning to the team.
The Minnesota Twins activated outfielder Denard Span from the 15-day disabled list.

To make room for Span on the 25-man roster, the Twins have optioned infielder Luke Hughes to Triple-A Rochester.
Span was the subject of trade rumors over the weekend, as the Washington Nationals were reportedly showing heavy interest. He got into ten games with triple-A Rochester on a rehab assignment, batting 8-for-39 with a double. Now he's back in the majors, with his problems hopefully behind him.
Span returns to a .746 season OPS. Ben Revere had been holding down the job in center field in Span's absence, and Revere didn't hit, but the Twins appear committed to finding him playing time, even with Span back in the fold.
