George Springer Diagnosed with Concussion; Will Miss 'A Few Games' with Injury

Houston Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow told reporters that center fielder George Springer will be out for a few games due to a mild concussion suffered Tuesday.

Per Brian McTaggart of MLB.com, Luhnow said the team hopes to have Springer back sometime early next week following medical clearance.

Springer suffered the concussion in the fifth inning of a 4-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers after making a leaping catch at the outfield wall. Unfortunately, the six-year veteran hit his head while robbing outfielder Ryan Braun. He stood up with assistance before being carted off the field.
