Nori Aoki Injury: Updates on Giants OF's Possible Concussion and Return

San Francisco Giants left fielder Norichika Aoki is back in the lineup after being activated from the seven-day disabled list on Aug. 20. 

Giants manager Bruce Bochy told Oliver Macklin of MLB.com on Aug. 16 that his left fielder "got lightheaded, dizzy, so we had to take him out. We're treating him at this time for a concussion. He showed symptoms."    

Coming over from the Kansas City Royals in the offseason, Aoki has appeared in 80 games in 2015, already making a stint on the DL after fracturing his fibula toward the end of June, according to FoxSports.com. But the 33-year-old has been a vital bat for the Giants, batting .302 with a .368 on-base percentage, making him a prime candidate for being their leadoff man. 

Getting Aoki back is timed perfectly for the Giants, who lost Hunter Pence to an oblique strain on Aug. 18.
