Cervelli returns to 7-day concussion DL

Eight days after rejoining the team, Pirates catcher Francisco Cervelli was placed back on the seven-day concussion disabled list on Thursday with what head athletic trainer Todd Tomczyk described as "post-concussive" and "post-viral" symptoms.

Cervelli was sent to Pittsburgh, where he will be evaluated by team physicians and concussion experts. Cervelli has been treated for one concussion this season, which he suffered on June 6 in Baltimore, and he has been diagnosed with at least three during his professional career. Cervelli was put on the concussion list on June 7 and reinstated after serving the minimum seven-day stint.
