The Associated Press is reporting that Major League Baseball is considering a revised disabled list status that would solely cover players with concussions. The proposal would set up a 7-day list for players who as suffering from head traumas.

According to the AP report, the proposal will be considered this offseason with the hope that it will be implemented for the 2011 season. A new concussion subcommittee is expected to review the proposal. The subcommittee is being formed as part of baseball's medical advisory committee.

Should the proposal gain the subcommittee's okay, it would need approval from both Bud Selig and the MLBPA.
