Jurickson Profar has been diagnosed with a mild concussion, but he can still avoid the seven-day disabled list if he passes a series of tests while in the concussion protocol.
Profar was not available to the Texas Rangers on Tuesday for their games against the Tampa Bay Rays a night after falling on the right side of his head following a collision with Mallex Smith near second base.
The Rangers have can back date a concussion DL move three days, so they can afford to wait another day before making a decision. Profar must hit all the check marks in the SCAT5 (Sport Concussion Assessment Tool, fifth edition), which will be administered by the Rays' team doctor.
