Alex Avila dealt with multiple head injuries late in the 2014 season, but the Detroit Tigers catcher is currently free of all symptoms.

Avila has had no second thoughts since the season ended regarding his future as a catcher in the Major Leagues.

"No," he said. "I've had three mild concussions in my career. I had a CT scan and an MRI checking my brain and my neck and the arteries leading to it, and everything checks out normal and healthy. And talking with the neurologist that examined everything, I shouldn't have any concern.

"It's like any injury -- you have to let it heal 100 percent."

Avila suffered his latest concussion Oct. 5 on a foul ball off the mask.
