Nate McLouth (concussion) is expected to rejoin the Braves on Tuesday.

McLouth went hitless in four at-bats Sunday in his last rehab game with Triple-A Gwinnett, but the Braves don't seem to care about those results. The outfielder has been sidelined since early June and Atlanta is simply eager to get him back. That said, he was batting .176/.295/.282 in 170 at-bats before the injury and can be avoided in most fantasy leagues.

Nate McLouth (concussion) was 1-for-6 with a run scored and a stolen base in his latest minor league rehab game with Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

McLouth is 5-for-17 (.294) with one home run over his first four games with Triple-A Gwinnett. Braves manager Bobby Cox had no update on his status, but you'd have to think he is getting close to returning.

Nate McLouth (concussion) is scheduled to resume his minor league rehab assignment Thursday at Triple-A Gwinnett.

McLouth has already played three games with Gwinnett, registering four hits -- including a home run -- in 11 at-bats. He took a break while the Braves were enjoying the All-Star break, but will try to get back into the swing of things on Thursday night. He's about one week from a full return.

The Braves could have a decision to make with Nate McLouth (concussion) but the end of the week.

McLouth is 2-for-7 with a stolen base in two rehab games at Triple-A Gwinnett. The outfielder is eligible to come off the DL, but the Braves might give him some more games in the minors to work out the kinks. He has been out since mid-June with a concussion.

Nate McLouth (concussion) was 1-for-3 while playing five innings in center field in his first minor league rehab game with Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday night.

McLouth singled, lined out to center field and struck out before leaving the game. He'll likely need to play back-to-back games in center field before the Braves activate him from the disabled list. Still, it's just great to have him back on the field.

Nate McLouth (concussion) will begin a minor league rehab assignment Friday with Triple-A Gwinnett.

Very good news. The Braves have slowly ramped up his workload as his condition has improved and it finally appears that he is ready for game activity. McLouth has been sidelined since colliding with Jason Heyward in the outfield on June 12.

Nate McLouth (concussion) will be re-evaluated Tuesday and could be cleared to begin a minor league rehab assignment later this week.

"We're clearly playing that one by ear," said Braves general manager Frank Wren. "We're just waiting to see how he responds to each situation as we ramp up the intensity of his workouts, the amount of time he's spending in the heat and all those things that can affect you post-concussion." McLouth was encouraged by being able to take batting practice without feeling any ill effects this weekend, but the Braves will obviously handle him with kid gloves.

Braves outfielder Nate McLouth (concussion) has been improving over the past couple of days and may head out on a rehab assignment soon.

The Braves are discussing a timetable with their struggling outfielder, who has been out since June 12 after a collision in the outfield with Jason Heyward. McLouth has been both unlucky on batted balls but has also been striking out a career rate. Owners in mixed leagues should probably adopt a wait-and-see approach, especially since concussion issues can linger.

Nate McLouth (concussion symptoms) participated in field drills and batting practice on Friday.

It's an encouraging sign, especially since McLouth was forced to work inside Tuesday due to dizziness as a result of high temperatures. "It's just when I get outside and get really heated up that I start feeling dizziness and light-headed and stuff," said McLouth. "Everything in my life has been normal finally after 2 1/2 weeks. It's just when I get outside and get my body temperature really heated up. [The doctors] said that's normal with the post-concussion syndrome." He's making baby steps, but obviously there's no timetable for his return.

Nate McLouth is still suffering from concussion symptoms and a timetable for his return isn't known at this point.

McLouth was placed on the DL back on June 12 after colliding with Jason Heyward. Manager Bobby Cox referred to the outfielder's status as "off and on," saying that McLouth didn't feel well Tuesday after a workout in the heat. He was slated to work some indoors Wednesday. At this point, it might be a surprise if we see McClouth before the All-Star break.

Nate McLouth (concussion symptoms) said he dealt with a "constant" headache after colliding with Jason Heyward on June 8 against the Diamondbacks.

It wasn't until Wednesday did McLouth wake up without a headache. He's still a while away from playing again, but reported to Turner Field on Friday pain-free for the past 48 hours. It's nice to hear.

Nate McLouth acknowledged Thursday that he's still experiencing some concussion-like symptoms.

McLouth has been on the disabled list for two weeks and is likely to be out for two weeks more. He was batting a measly .176/.295/.282 with only 12 extra-base hits at the time of his injury, so maybe the extra rest will do him some good. Hey, we're trying to be positive here.

Nate McLouth (concussion symptoms) did not make the trip for this week's series against the White Sox.

On Friday, Braves manager Bobby Cox said that McLouth was "still not feeling great," so it's safe to say we won't be seeing him anytime soon. The hot-hitting Melky Cabrera will continue to play center field.

Braves manager Bobby Cox said that Nate McLouth (concussion symptoms) is "still not doing great."

McLouth went on the disabled list is the on the disabled list after colliding with Jason Heyward last Wednesday. Cox wouldn't elaborate on his condition, nor have we heard much of an update on his status in the past week, but it sure doesn't sound like we will see him anytime soon.

Braves placed OF Nate McLouth on the 15-day disabled list with concussion symptoms.

McLouth hasn't been told whether he has a concussion, but said that he was feeling symptomatic. That was enough for the Braves to make the move. Melky Cabrera is expected to be the everyday center fielder until he is ready to return. The Braves have yet to announce a corresponding roster move.

Nate McClouth will be placed on the disabled list because of a concussion sustained in Wednesday's collision.

Mitch Jones and Matt Young look like the possibilities to replace him on the roster, but neither would play much. The Braves will go with Melky Cabrera in center and use Gregor Blanco as the backup.

Nate McLouth is being tested for a possible concussion following a collision with Jason Heyward during Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

As expected, Nate McLouth is out of the starting lineup against the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

Jason Heyward is in the lineup, but McLouth obviously got the worst of Wednesday's collision. Melky Cabrera will start in center field and bat eighth against southpaw Dontrelle Willis.

Braves manager Bobby Cox said that he plans to hold Nate McLouth out of the starting lineup on Thursday after he collided with Jason Heyward during Wednesday's game.

"I think McLouth's going to be OK. Contusion," said Cox. "He walked off the field; that's a good sign. We'll hold him out tomorrow and see how he is in Minnesota." Heyward looked to have hurt his leg in the collision, but it wasn't serious enough for him to leave the game.

Nate McLouth was pulled from Wednesday's game in the eighth inning atter colliding with fellow outfielder Jason Heyward.

The two were chasing after a Gerrardo Parra fly ball and the collision allowed Parra to score an inside-the-park home run. Heyward remained in the game, but McLouth looked to be in a good deal of pain and may miss significant time. We've seen several ugly and costly collisions this season.
