Detroit Tigers catcher Alex Avila will not be in the lineup Monday after he was forced to exit Sunday's game against the Cleveland Indians after taking a foul tip off his mask.
Avila, who departed Sunday's game in the eighth inning after feeling lightheaded, has dealt with concussion-like symptoms on at least three separate occasions the last two seasons.
