San Francisco Giants outfield Joc Pederson has been placed on the 7-day concussion injured list, the team announced Friday.

The move comes after Pederson crashed into the wall Thursday night, hitting his head against the wall while attempting to rob a two-run home run from Chicago Cubs’ third baseman Patrick Wisdom.

He was soon removed from the game.

Despite the crash, the Giants were able to snap a 7-game losing streak against the Cubs.
