David Ross wearing protective cap under helmet

Red Sox catcher David Ross, who recently returned from the 7-day disabled list for a concussion, will be wearing a Kevlar protective cap under his batting helmet for at least a week until he gets his new helmet with Kevlar inside, according to MLB.com.

"I feel like an idiot with that thing on," Ross joked after playing in his first game since May 11. "I keep putting my mask on, because I don't want to walk around with it. I'm getting some alterations to my helmet, but in the meantime, I'm going to wear that. It's a little extra protection."

Ross was 0 for 5 with five strikeouts Saturday against the Indians.

"I was able to work through the game with no dizziness, nothing like that," he said. "Nothing out of the ordinary, other than swinging and missing. We've got to figure out a way to fix that."
