David Ross is still experiencing concussion symptoms and is likely to be re-examined Monday in Boston.

David Ross - C - Red Sox

Red Sox manager John Farrell said David Ross (concussion) will be re-examined "over the next couple of days."

Ross is eligible to come off the DL on Sunday, but the Sox will just wait to see how he recovers. "We're still taking this very much day to day," Farrell said. "He'll get reexamined in Boston over the next couple of days before rejoining us in Minnesota. There's no template on these, when the symptoms start to progress. Yesterday was a tougher day for him with some of those symptoms, so we've got to work off him in this. He'll be fully evaluated in Boston. Where we go from there will be dependent upon the diagnosis and the recommendations of the doctors there."

Red Sox manager John Farrell said that David Ross (quad) is much improved and could be available Wednesday night.

David Ross - C - Red Sox

David Ross has been diagnosed with a left quad contusion.

The injury is the result of a collision with Will Middlebrooks during Tuesday's game. Ross initially stayed in the game for one batter but then had to be removed. He seems likely to be unavailable for a day or two but should avoid the DL.

David Ross - C - Red Sox

David Ross had a huge day at the plate Friday against the Astros, going 4-for-4 with two homers and three runs scored.

Ross delivered solo homers in the second and fourth innings. With the four-hit night, he raised his batting average from .120 to .241 for the season. The 36-year-old backstop will get the majority of his playing time against southpaws, but he offers enough pop to have value in AL-only formats.

David Ross - C - Red Sox

Red Sox signed C David Ross to a two-year, $6.2 million contract.

The deal was reported last weekend and has now become official after Ross passed a physical. The 35-year-old batted .256/.321/.449 with nine home runs in 196 plate appearances with the Braves this season. He won't play every day in Boston but should certainly see more starts than he did in Atlanta.

David Ross - C - Red Sox

Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports the Red Sox have agreed to a two-year deal with David Ross.

The deal is pending a physical, but Ross is set to make $6.2 million over the next two seasons. It's a well-deserved raise for Ross, who is widely considered one of the best backup catchers in the game. The 35-year-old batted .256/.321/.449 with nine home runs in 196 plate appearances with the Braves. He'll likely get more playing time in Boston, but he's not expected to carry the full load behind the plate. However, the signing will allow the Red Sox to use both Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Ryan Lavarnway as potential trade chips.
