07/22/2010 - Pittsburgh, PA (Sport Network) - The Pirates placed catcher Ryan Doumit on the 15-day disabled list Thursday, one day after he exited a game early feeling light-headed and nauseated following a first inning collision at home plate.
After the game, Doumit was taken to Allegheny General Hospital, where he was diagnosed with a concussion. He had missed two games previously this season with concussion-like symptoms.
The collision occurred early on Wednesday, as Rickie Weeks, racing home on a sacrifice fly, banged into Doumit and knocked him over en route to scoring the first run of the game.
Doumit also had been held out of Tuesday's game as a precaution after taking a foul tip off his mask in Monday night's contest.
In 80 games this season, the 29-year-old Doumit has hit .258 with eight homers and 32 RBI.
To take his place on the roster, the Pirates recalled catcher Jason Jaramillo, who was optioned earlier this month to Triple-A Indianapolis after hitting .164 in 24 games with the big club this year.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
