GDT 8/17/22: Braves vs Mutts - A Third Helping of Revenge

GovClintonTyree said:
Perhaps the most significant component of the policy involves protocols for return to play. Any player who has been diagnosed with a concussion, regardless of whether he was assigned to the seven-day DL, must follow a specific protocol to return to play. The club must submit a return-to-play form for the player to MLB's medical director to obtain clearance for game participation of any kind (major league, minor league or extended spring training). In that form, the club's head physician must establish:

• all symptoms at rest and with exertion (including baseball-related activities) have cleared
• ImPACT results have returned to baseline
• the club physician, in his or her judgment, feels it is safe for the player to return to competition

The medical director then has the right to request further documentation or consultation with other physicians before providing final clearance. Similar return-to-field criteria will be required for umpires.

Additionally, each club is required to designate an MTBI (mild traumatic brain injury) specialist, who is not one of the club physicians, in its home city.

Lol, mlb gonna require extra testing so he can't pitch tonight
 
We don't even know if Fried was ever diagnosed with a concussion. Sounded like it was precautionary more than anything. The one good thing about deGrom going tonight is that he is probably still on a strict pitch count this soon after coming back from such a long layoff. Hate that Diaz will be ready to go again. Dude's gonna give up another run at some point but I hope we are up at the end of the game

Tarnok optioned. It was nice seeing him last night. I hope he gets another opportunity in September.

Yeah - It was pretty obvious this was just a one day call-up to give some guys a break.

His 'wiry' nature to his delivery was even more than what I expected and what I've seen over the last few years. That ball has got a lot of action and is being released from an unorthodox location.
