Second baseman Brian Roberts made another visit yesterday to Dr. Michael Collins, who’s billed as a sports-concussion specialist. I’ve never read his business card, but I assume that title appears on it.

Second baseman Brian Roberts made another visit yesterday to Dr. Michael Collins, who’s billed as a sports-concussion specialist. I’ve never read his business card, but I assume that title appears on it.

I’m told by a team official that there’s been “no significant change in status.” Roberts continues to participate in baseball activities down in Sarasota – hitting, throwing, tracking pop ups – but he hasn’t been cleared to play in games.

As expected, the exam amounted to little more than a routine checkup.

The headaches aren’t as frequent, but even the occasional ones bring enough concern that Roberts can’t join an affiliate and begin an injury-rehab assignment.

The minor league seasons end in about three weeks, so Roberts is on the clock.

Unfortunately, he’s also in Dr. Collins’ appointment book.
