Brock Holt Shut Down For 'Foreseeable Future'

BOSTON, MA – Red Sox utility man Brock Holt is at a tough spot in his road to recovery from head injuries. The former All-Star was placed on the disabled list on April 22 with vertigo symptoms. He was rehabbing in Pawtucket, but Boston manager Friday night told reporters Holt will be shut down for the "foreseeable future."

Holt saw a head specialist Thursday.

He'll stay with the team and work out with them, but he won't be playing for an undetermined amount of time.

The Boston Globe's Peter Abraham reports some team sources tell him "the concern with Holt goes beyond baseball," instead focusing on his wellness in everyday life.
