Red Sox's Brian Johnson: Responsive after beaning

Johnson was "responsive" after taking a line drive off his head during Saturday's game, Brendan McGair of the Pawtucket Times reports.

Analysis:

Triple-A Pawtucket manager Kevin Boles added that Johnson was able to answer questions and his removal from the game was for "precautionary reasons." It sounds like Johnson may have avoided more serious damage, but we'll wait on the results of medical tests to learn more about the left-hander's status going forward.
