MILWAUKEE –– Last week, when Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson was in concussion protocol, he went onto the field for batting practice before one of the Reds games against the St. Louis Cardinals. When he tried tracking the ball off the bat, Stephenson said he felt dizziness and nausea.
It was a reminder of how difficult the process is when you’re coming back from a concussion.
Stephenson went on the concussion list after a play at the plate on April 19 against the San Diego Padres. While Stephenson tagged out Luke Voit at home plate, his head was slammed to the ground, and he missed two weeks.
