Rangers activate Delino DeShields from concussion DL

NEW YORK -- The Texas Rangers have activated outfielder Delino DeShields from the seven-day concussion disabled list before their series finale against the New York Yankees.

DeShields was batting ninth Sunday and playing center field.

In a corresponding move, Texas optioned outfielder/infielder Drew Robinson to Triple-A Round Rock.

DeShields was placed on the disabled list on Aug. 4 with concussion symptoms. They were believed to be related to the 25-year-old banging the back of his head while attempting a sliding catch against Boston on July 11.

He was placed in Major League Baseball's concussion protocol but returned to the lineup in Texas' game two days later.
