Mariners injury updates: Kyle Lewis being evaluated for possible concussion; Abraham Toro, Erik Swanson to begin rehab assignments

If you looked at today’s lineup and gulped when you saw Kyle Lewis out again, directly following an off-day, you weren’t alone, as the entire LL staff let out a collective groan when today’s lineup dropped. However, the reasoning behind it might not be what you expect:

In case you missed it, Lewis was struck by a José Urquidy slider this past Saturday that hit him in the shoulder and then ricocheted to hit off the head/helmet area. Concussions aren’t a walk in the park, and can have lingering effects, but to me, any non-knee injury news is the better of a bad situation.
