Buster Posey put his catcher’s gear back on Monday night, which is standard operating procedure. But on this occasion, it was particularly good news for the Giants.
Posey was the catcher three days after being removed from Friday’s game in Arizona to be monitored by the medical staff for concussion symptoms. He had taken a Paul Goldschmidt foul tip off his mask.
Posey, who spent a week on the concussion list after getting beaned in last season’s home opener, sat out Saturday’s game and played first base Sunday.
“I think it was just feeling a little bit off and not wanting to risk it and potentially getting another one,” Posey said.
