On the night Joc Pederson collided with Yasiel Puig in right-center field, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Pederson sustained a sprained neck, bumps and bruises, and passed concussion tests.
However, Pederson’s condition regressed and he was placed on the seven-day concussion disabled list the following day. Pederson is eligible to be activated Wednesday, though Roberts isn’t expecting his center fielder to return on the club’s seven-game road trip.
“Every day is getting a little better, but there’s some sort of haze going on,” Roberts said on Sunday.
Pederson was instructed to avoid bright lights, television and using his cell phone.
