Concussion symptoms keep Swanson out

No. 1 overall Draft pick Dansby Swanson has yet to return to the field because of lingering concussion symptoms after he was hit in the face by a pitch two weeks ago.

"Every now and then, he'll have a little spell where he doesn't feel quite right," D-backs farm director Mike Bell told The Arizona Republic. "So that slows it down a little bit. I think we're almost there, but we're waiting for that one day where he's completely symptom-free."

Swanson, the club's No. 1 prospect and No. 12 overall per MLB.com, was hit in the face during a simulated game in his first action with the D-backs.
