The Pirates have placed catcher Ryan Doumit on the disabled list due to a concussion he sustained in a collision last night. Jason Jaramillo was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis to replace Doumit on the roster.
Ryan Doumit is out of the lineup tonight after a foul tip struck his mask in last night's game. Erik Kratz will start in his place. Doumit may be available to pinch-hit.
After a brief slump, Tony Sanchez recently resumed his domination over the Florida State League. Ryan Doumit is hitting well, with a .360 wOBA. He is 29-years-old, has an injury history and is lousy defensively. The Pirates have decent catching depth in the upper minor leagues. The conditions for a Doumit trade are almost ideal.
