Julio Lugo Out -- Mild Concussion

Embattled shortstop Julio Lugo is out of the lineup again tonight, a bit less dizzy but still able to return to the lineup.

Lugo suffered a mild concussion in a baseline collision during Friday night's game. Manager Terry Francona said Lugo was administered a CT scan, and while it didn't show anything major, Francona was told by the trainers that that didn't mean he hadn't suffered a mild concussion.

"His eyes were glassy looking, glazed over (on Saturday)," said Francona of Lugo. "He's a little better (today), a little clearer in the eyes."

When Lugo returns will be a question of when he feels better and when the medical staff clears him to play, said Francona.
