Pina was scheduled for a full workout Monday, and if all goes well, he'll take the MLB's concussion test again, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pina was in line to hit, run and throw Monday, meaning he's likely put any concussion-like symptoms behind him. However, before he's cleared to return, he'll need to pass the league's concussion test, which should take place within the next few days.

Pina (concussion) took part in some light activity Thursday, though he's not ready to return just yet, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pina's return from a concussion is slowly progressing, and skipper Craig Counsell stated Friday that his backup catcher will need to string together multiple "good days in a row" before receiving the green light. At this point, it seems unlikely that he'll return over the weekend.

Pina (concussion) won't return until Friday at the earliest, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pina's presence with the team for its series in Miami suggested that he was just a few days away from returning, but he'll apparently need more time than that. His exact return date remains unclear.

Pina (concussion) is slated to resume baseball activities Monday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pina was diagnosed with a mild concussion last week after taking a foul ball off his mask, but he said he's feeling much better after an initially rough few days following the injury. The backstop is in Miami with the Brewers ahead of the team's four-game series vs. the Marlins, and according to Sophia Minnaert of Fox Sports Wisconsin, he could return to action before the end of the series Thursday. Look for David Freitas and Jacob Nottingham to back up Yasmani Grandal in the meantime.

Pina has been diagnosed with a mild concussion and was sent home to rest Friday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
The team should have a better idea of his timetable to return in a few days after he goes through the concussion protocol. Yasmani Grandal is starting at catcher Friday and David Freitas and Jacob Nottingham are also on the active roster.

Pina (head) is not in Friday's lineup against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
He exited Thursday's game with head discomfort, although his absence from Friday's lineup doesn't necessarily mean that injury is still affecting him. Yasmani Grandal will start behind the dish and hit second.

Pina left Thursday's game with "head discomfort," Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hopefully this is just a headache, but the Brewers were oddly vague. The team will likely put Pina through a series of tests to be sure it's nothing serious before clearing him to step back in behind the plate.

Pina went 2-for-4 with a double in Tuesday's loss to the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Pina owned a woeful .557 OPS as recently as July 3, but he has gotten in a groove at the plate since, posting a stellar .348/.388/.630 slash line in 49 plate appearances over 20 games to raise his OPS on the season to a respectable .730. Pina's hot streak has earned him a bump in playing time, as manager Craig Counsel has regularly used a lineup consisting of Pina behind the plate and Yasmani Grandal at first base against left-handed starters.

Pina went 2-for-2 with a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's 14-6 loss to the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Entering the game in the top of the sixth inning after Yasmani Grandal was lifted as part of a double switch, Pina ended up providing the Brewers with most of their offense on the night. The backup catcher is slashing only .196/.288/.424 on the year, but Pina does have six homers and 15 RBI in 104 plate appearances.

Pina went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's victory over the Braves.
EDGE Analysis
Pina made the most of what was just his fourth start of the month, hitting his fifth home run of the season and knocking in just one fewer run than he accumulated over his previous 14 games. Pina is hitting just .186 on the season, but he has seen the ball well lately, going 5-for-11 (.455) with two home runs, a double, and five RBI over his last six contests. Despite the hot stretch, he figures to continue seeing sparse playing time behind top backstop Yasmani Grandal.
