Statuses for Alabama baseball shortstop Justin Lebron and catcher Brady Neal have been revealed.
Last weekend, the two exited the South Carolina series to enter concussion protocol. On Thursday, May 14, as the Crimson Tide looks to open up its final series of the regular season, the two were listed as probable on the SEC availability report.

Lebron left in the opener versus the Gamecocks following a first-base collision that saw his helmet fly off and body skid to the ground. During Game 2 the next day, Neal took a foul ball to the face mask in the first at-bat of the game and eventually came out in the second inning.
Mandatory NCAA concussion safety guidelines often see players out for six to seven days. Regardless of timelines, all student-athletes are required to be cleared by a medical professional to return to competition.
Will Plattner was instrumental as a backup for Neal in the South Carolina series, going 3-for-4 with a home run. Meanwhile, Jojo Williamson notched his first career hit and homer on back-to-back days stepping into the lineup with the loss of Lebron as Brennan Holt moved from second base to shortstop.
