Catching prospect Tommy Joseph out with concussion again

Lehigh Valley IronPigs backstop Tommy Joseph was placed on the 7-day disabled list on Tuesday, diagnosed with a concussion.

Tough luck for @IronPigs C Tommy Joseph, who’s been placed on DL w/ another concussion. Entering season, he appeared in just 22% G past 2 yr

Joseph was removed from the game after being hit in the mask with a foul tip. In 20 games this season, he was batting .123 with four doubles and six RBI.

The 23-year-old was acquired in 2012 from San Francisco in the deal for Hunter Pence and has played in 63 total games the past two seasons, missing time with multiple concussions and a wrist injury.
