*** Off the field the news of the day is Francisco Cervelli's visit with a ???. Girardi said Sunday he would wait to hear the doctor's recommendation before putting a time frame on Cervelli's return.
Girardi said Cervelli's recent concussion history -- he also had one in November in winter ball -- is a bit of a worry.
“It’s a big concern,” Girardi said. “It’s scary. I think it’s good that we pay much more attention that we used to. Used to say, ‘Oh well, I got hit in the head.’ Now they understand that there’s serious ramifications and you have to be careful. Hopefully he’ll be back in a couple days but we’ll be cautious.”
