Cervelli (concussion) has increased his catching activity recently, though he remains without a timetable for his return, John Perrotto of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Cervelli has been doing more catching during his rehab, he still hasn't been cleared for game action, per Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic. The backstop is set to be reevaluated in Pittsburgh this week, at which point a timetable for his return will hopefully emerge.

Cervelli (concussion) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He has been cleared to resume light catching activities, including fielding bunts, per Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic. However, it's still possible that he may not return at all this season, given the severity of this most recent concussion. Resting from now until next February may give him a chance of getting fully recovered in an effort to prolong his career as a big-league catcher.

Cervelli (concussion) is still working through his program and is not yet cleared for games, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

There was a bit of a controversy in Pittsburgh last week when Cervelli refuted a report that he was done catching. It seems like he had a change of heart, although it's certainly understandable that he would consider giving up catching, given that this is at least his sixth concussion since 2011. He is without a timetable to return.

Cervelli (concussion) posted on Instagram that it is inaccurate to say he is quitting catching and that his hope is to catch again, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

It sounds like he needs to give up catching for now as he attempts to work his way back from this serious concussion, but he doesn't want to rule out ever catching again, as he probably doesn't have much of a future in MLB at any other position. This is at least his sixth concussion since 2011, and he has been sidelined since May 25.

Cervelli (concussion) announced Sunday that his career as a catcher is over, though he'll attempt to shift to another position, Dejan Kovacevi of DK Pittsburgh Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cervelli has battled concussions throughout his career and has been sidelined since late May with the most recent concussion. The 33-year-old said Sunday, "That's enough. This time is different. I can't live like this." He will look to gain medical clearance next week before potentially heading to Triple-A Indianapolis for a rehab assignment. The Pirates have yet to announce their altered positional plans for Cervelli, but he's played some first base over the past few years and much earlier in his career had brief moments at second and third base.

Cervelli (concussion) ran sprints in the outfield prior to Saturday's game in Milwaukee, John Perrotto of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He apparently looked good during his sprints, and the fact that he is with the team suggests he could be activated in the near future. Cervelli took grounders at third base earlier this week, but that doesn't seem likely to lead to added starts when he is activated.

Cervelli (concussion) has yet to resume baseball activities, John Perrotto of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was originally thought that Cervelli was cleared to resume all baseball activities last Wednesday, but it turns out he's still undergoing testing. It was reported earlier in the week that the backstop was hoping to rejoin the Pirates next weekend, though that no longer seems likely.

Cervelli (concussion) hopes to make some minor-league rehab starts this week and potentially rejoin the Pirates next weekend, Nubyjas Wilborn of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cervelli has been on the injured list since May 26 due to the concussion but was cleared to resume all baseball activities Wednesday. Elias Diaz has performed well as the starter with a .316/.361/.447 slash line since Cervelli landed on the IL, so Cervelli could be relegated to backup duties upon his activation.

The Pirates cleared Cervelli (concussion) to resume all baseball activities Wednesday, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cervelli received the green light to take the next step forward in his advancement through the concussion protocol after being evaluated by a neurologist Tuesday. Since he's been on the shelf for nearly a month, Cervelli will likely need at least a couple of minor-league rehab games to get himself back into playing shape. He's scheduled to meet with a neurologist again early next week for what could be a final checkup before he reports to an affiliate.
