ARLINGTON Melky Cabrera Jersey , Texas (AP) — with post-concussion syndrome more than three weeks after banging the back of his head when trying to make a sliding catch.The Rangers announced the move Saturday, a day after DeShields was scratched from the starting lineup because of headaches and placed on MLB’s seven-day concussion DL. The earliest he could return is next Friday. DeShields hit his head in the sixth inning of a game at Boston on July 11. He was in then in concussion protocol but was back in the lineup when the Rangers played their next game two days later.Manager Jeff Banister said Saturday that DeShields indicated his neck was hurting more than anything else then, and that the outfielder had “passed all impact testing pretty quickly” then.Banister said DeShields hadn’t complained of any headaches until Friday.Texas recalled outfielder/infielder Drew Robinson from Triple-A Round Rock. KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) — Brian McCann left Atlanta five years ago as a full-time catcher.After three years with the New York Yankees and two with the Houston Astros, the 35-year-old McCann was back behind the plate for the Braves on Tuesday as a platoon player.“Nothing’s changed,” McCann said. “The clocks on the wall are the exact same. It’s funny. But it’s good to be back.”McCann, who missed two months in the middle of last season after surgery on his right knee, is one of several Braves veterans whose spring training debuts have been delayed slightly by injury considerations.Shortstop Dansby Swanson and third baseman Josh Donaldson will probably play for the first time Friday.Veteran reliever Darren O’Day Justin Verlander Jersey , who missed the second half of last season after having surgery on his right hamstring, threw a bullpen session on Monday.“We’ve got more time than we need to get him ready,” manager Brian Snitker said.Mike Soroka, a 21-year-old right-hander whose bid for a spot in the starting rotation has been set back by a tender shoulder, will probably resume throwing on Thursday.McCann caught four innings of Tuesday’s 4-3 exhibition win over a split squad of New York Mets. He went 0 for 2 and felt the normal rust of playing in a game for the first time in four months.“From Day One, calling a sign is weird. Setting up is different,” he said. “You’re retraining your body where to go, what to do. No matter how much work you put in a back field Houston Astros Jersey , when you get into game speed it’s another ballgame.”McCann caught all seven games for the Astros in their World Series victory 16 months ago. The veteran who has caught 1,494 major league games expects to go into the season as the left-handed part of a catching platoon with Tyler Flowers.A seven-time All-Star, McCann hit .212 with seven home runs and 23 RBIs for Houston last season.“Back in the day you wouldn’t want Brian McCann platooning with anybody because you wanted him in there,” Snitker said. “The last three years we’ve gone with two guys (Flowers and A.J. Pierzyski in 2016, Flowers and Kurt Suzuki in 2017-18) and got good results. We hope to do the same thing this year. We’ve got two catchers who aren’t everyday guys at this stage of their careers. We’ve shown that we can make this thing work.”Swanson, who last played on Sept. 25 and then had surgery to repair a partially torn ligament in his left wrist, has been practicing all baseball activities including hitting, which he did in Atlanta before coming to spring training.“He feels good and it’s just a matter of getting strength back on a daily basis http://www.astrosfanproshop.com/authentic-justin-verlander-jersey ,” Snitker said. “But physically — legs, arms, things like that, he could play today.”Donaldson, who signed a one-year contract in November, played in just 52 games with Toronto and Cleveland last season due to a strained left calf muscle.
