Giancarlo Stanton did not suffer a concussion when he was hit on the back of the head and at the top of his neck by a pitch from prospect right-hander Jose Fernandez on Wednesday during a simulated game. Great news. It was a very scary moment for Stanton and the Marlins, but it appears disaster was averted. He should be ready to go when the exhibition schedule begins.
