Detroit Tigers rookie Akil Baddoo returns: 'I'm ready to do some damage'

ST. LOUIS — The morning after Detroit Tigers rookie Akil Baddoo crashed into fellow outfielder Derek Hill, he just had a minor headache. The feeling wasn't pleasant, but considering how scary the Aug. 10 collision was, it seemed like the best-case scenario.

Still, the Tigers placed Baddoo on the concussion protocol injured list.

"That was really it," Baddoo said Tuesday. "I went home, relaxed and rested. That's all you really can do when it comes to a concussion. You can't do nothing else but just relax and rest as much as possible to give my brain a break.
