New York -- New York Yankees catcher Jorge Posada missed Wednesday's game due to concussion symptoms, Yankees Manager Joe Girardi said.
Girardi told reporters after the Yankees' 3-2 victory over Baltimore that Posada was absent due to "concussion symptoms" from taking a foul ball off the mask during Tuesday night's loss, The (Newark, N.J.) Star-Ledger reported.
"He woke up this morning and didn't sleep well last night," Girardi said. "He had a headache today and we did a test here and he went to see a neurologist.
"Anytime you start talking about concussions -- and we've seen a lot of these last a long time with players -- you're concerned," Girardi added.

New York, Sept. 16 (UPI) -- Yankees catcher Jorge Posada and Toronto pitcher Jesse Carlson received three-game suspensions Wednesday for their parts in a benches-clearing incident.
During Tuesday's 10-4 Toronto rout, Posada elbowed Carlson after he scored on Brett Gardner's double in the bottom of the eighth.
During the at-bat, Carlson threw behind Posada, continuing a pattern of seemingly errant pitches by both clubs.
Carlson later said something Posada didn't like, and when Posada ran towards him, both benches cleared.
No punches were thrown, but in the pile of bodies, Carlson suffered a knot on his forehead.
"I'm not upset with it," Manager Cito Gaston said on the Blue Jays' Web site. "It's always too many days."
