On Friday, May 25, Cleveland Indians catcher Carlos Santana took a foul ball off his mask, complained of dizziness and left the game. As a precaution, the team placed him on the new seven-day concussion disabled list and catcher Luke Carlin was recalled to fill in.

Now he’s returning:

The team appears to continue to be cautious with Santana, not putting him behind the plate for his first game back. The team is keeping Carlin, probably for that reason:

Santana active and Juan Diaz optioned. Tribe carrying 3 catchers. #Indians

Reporter Paul Hoynes got the scoop on Santana earlier Tuesday morning, by happenstance:

Santana was hitting .245/.360/.387 with just five home runs in 155 at-bats after a 27-homer season in 2011. Indians fans are hoping he’ll change his evil ways.

(Insert groan here.)
