Brewers pitcher Jimmy Nelson released from hospital

Brewers pitcher Jimmy Nelson (head) was released from the hospital Saturday and is scheduled for a checkup with a neurologist Monday. Nelson was fortunate to escape with only a bruise on his head after taking a line drive to the dome during his start Thursday against the Cardinals.

The Brewers sent Nelson as the hospital as a precaution, but he's been diagnosed with nothing more than a bruise as of yet. The visit with the neurologist will likely allow the Brewers to determine if Nelson is experiencing any late-arriving concussion symptoms. He has yet to be ruled out for his next start, scheduled for Tuesday against the Cubs.
