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."

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.
