Reds 3B Scott Rolen has normal head CT scan, but still out of lineup after beaning

Reds 3B Scott Rolen’s head CT scan normal

CINCINNATI — Third baseman Scott Rolen got a CT scan that came back normal, an indication he could be back in the Cincinnati Reds’ lineup within a few days.

Rolen was beaned on the left side of the head by a pitch from Jason Marquis on Sunday. He sat out a 4-2 loss to Chicago on Monday night due to dizziness and a headache.

He felt better on Tuesday, but was out of the lineup against the Cubs as a precaution. Rolen planned to work out and take batting practice.

The Reds got Rolen from Toronto on Friday in a four-player trade.
