CLEVELAND -- The Astros placed outfielder Jake Marisnick on the seven-day disabled list, retroactive to Monday, prior to Tuesday's game against the Indians due to a mild concussion he sustained while running into the outfield wall to make a catch against the Rays on Sunday in St. Petersburg.
Outfielder Teoscar Hernandez was recalled from Triple-A Fresno to replace Marisnick, who is eligible to be activated on May 1. Because the seven-day DL is shorter and offers teams more flexibility than the 10-day DL, Major League Baseball has a protocol through which it ensures proper medical records back a player's placement on the DL.
