After being placed on the seven-day concussion list on Friday, Brock Holt will travel to Pittsburgh on Monday to visit with concussion specialist Michael Collins.

Holt isn’t experiencing increasing symptoms, manager John Farrell said. The visit is largely precautionary.

“Just to get a full understanding of what he’s dealing with,’’ Farrell said. “I think at that point, if there’s any changes to what his plan is, we’ll know at that time. But again, with these, as you know, there’s going to be a whole protocol that he’s got to go through and pass before he’s able to reengage with any kind of baseball activity.’’

Holt suffered the mild concussion diving for a ground ball last Monday in a win over the A’s. Even though he didn’t hit his head when he landed on the ground at the lip of the infield, there was a whiplash effect that left him with neck soreness. The effects lingered over the next week, which led him to talk to team trainers.

“I went home that night and I was pretty dizzy at the house that night,’’ Holt said. “Pretty dizzy and light-headed and all that stuff. So I came in the next day and told the trainers. I thought I had a little bit of whiplash, so we were treating my neck. Once my neck started feeling better, but I was still getting dizzy and light-headed on the field, I knew something else was probably going on.’’

Late in the 2014 season, Holt had to be shut down after suffering a concussion when he collided with Dustin Pedroia. The dizziness and light-headedness he felt then was the same as he’s felt the past week.

“Whenever I continued to have my symptoms as my neck started feeling better, there’s only one other time that I felt like I had felt the past week, week and a half,’’ he said. “So I went to [trainer] Brad [Pearson] and said we’ve got to figure it out because I shouldn’t be feeling the way I’m feeling out there on the field.’’

Holt couldn’t map out an immediate timetable for his recovery. “You really don’t know,’’ he said. “You kind of take it day by day, see how you feel every day you wake up. We’re going to make sure that it’s right, though, before I get going again.’’

Show of respect

As hot as Jackie Bradley Jr.’s been, the Indians didn’t want to play with fire.

Bradley stepped to the plate with runners on second and third and one out in the seventh inning, and even though the Indians were in a 4-0 hole at the time, lefthanded reliever Kyle Crockett wanted no part of Bradley.

With first base open, Crockett handed Bradley an intentional walk to load the bases.

The Indians still paid for it, with Blake Swihart working Joba Chamberlain for a bases-loaded walk and Mookie Betts blowing the game open with a grand slam.

But it was telling that the Indians didn’t want Bradley to be the one doing the damage.

It was Bradley’s second intentional walk of the game.

Bradley came up in the second inning of a scoreless game. with two outs and David Ortiz on second, Indians manager Terry Francona gave Bradley a free pass so Trevor Bauer could face Ryan Hanigan. The move paid off for the Indians as Hanigan bounced to the mound.

Bradley also walked in the third — an unintentional intentional walk as there were runners on second and third and two outs — and beat out a grounder to second to lead off the sixth. The infield single extended his hit streak to 26 games, the longest in the majors this season. In the streak, he’s hitting .411 with 7 doubles, 3 triples, 8 homers, and 29 RBIs, and teams have now have him pegged as a threat.

“It’s crazy,’’ Bradley said. “But it was a base open and they took full advantage of it.’’

With that in mind, Farrell said he may have to make some adjustments.

“I think there’s a clear strategy today,’’ Farrell said. “They’re not going to give him a chance. So we may have to adjust some things going forward, maybe a different slot in the lineup, just to be in the middle of potentially building an inning further.’’

Hanigan dinged up

Hanigan left the game in the seventh with a left-hand contusion. X-rays were negative and Farrell said he was day-to-day.

“That pinch, that kind of the fatty part of the palm, he’s got a little bit of the split of the skin, but we’ll check him certainly tomorrow,’’ he said.

Hanigan said he was fine.

“I’ll be all right,’’ Hanigan said. “It’s just sore and bruised and swelling, but just get that out of there and we should be OK.’’

Rodriguez tries brace

Still working his way back from a knee injury that’s sidelined him since spring training, Eduardo Rodriguez was fitted for a knee brace, which he wore Friday for a bullpen session and then Saturday for pitcher-fielding practice.

Farrell said the lefthander fared well in both sessions, feeling comfortable with the new brace.

“The confidence that he’s got from that is substantial,’’ Farrell said. “I think there’s evenness to his running gait. He might have favored it a little bit prior. But change of direction, his footwork, all that was very good.’’

Rodriguez will throw a light bullpen on Monday and the hope is to have him start in Pawtucket on Tuesday, Farrell said.

Johnson takes break Between command issues and a pair of rough starts the last two times he took the mound, and having his turn in the PawSox rotation skipped Thursday, Brian Johnson’s 2016 season has had its issues.

The 25-year-old lefthanded prospect will take some time to sort through them after being placed on the team’s temporary inactive list Saturday.

The Sox said in a statement that Johnson will “seek treatment for anxiety while continuing non-game baseball activities’’ in Fort Myers, Fla.

Farrell said he didn’t have an opportunity to speak with Johnson, but said that the organization supports him completely.

“Obviously, we’re well aware of what he’s dealing with and we support him as a talented young guy and provide every available resource to him to get back to a productive pitcher and a guy that we would hope to factor in as we go forward,’’ Farrell said.

The Sox said they would refrain from comment “out of respect to the player and his personal privacy.’’ Farrell acknowledged the delicate nature of the situation.

“Every case is going to be different,’’ Farrell said. “Every individual is different. So whether it’s a situation like this or others, you would hope as an organization that you’re able to provide everything that’s needed for an individual and we feel like we were able to do that in Brian’s case.’’
