The Braves are close to acquiring Ryan Doumit from the Twins, according to Yahoo! Sports' Jeff Passan. No word yet on Minnesota's return. Doumit swings a solid bat, is signed for reasonable money, and can handle both corner outfield positions and first base defensively, in addition to catcher. The bad news is that he's horrific in the field no matter where you put him and fell to a .247/.314/.396 slash line in 2013, unacceptable for a no-defense bat. The 32-year-old will back up Evan Gattis in Atlanta.

Ryan Doumit went 2-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored against the Tigers on Tuesday. Doumit scored both of the Twins' runs in the game, coming in on a Chris Parmelee single in the second inning before blasting his 14th home run of the season in the seventh. The 32-year-old now has 54 RBI and is batting .245/.312/.400 on the season.

The Twins will not use Ryan Doumit at catcher anymore this season. He actually hasn't caught a single game since coming off the concussion DL on August 16. Doumit said that his previous concussion was "100 percent a factor" in the decision not to use him behind the plate anymore in 2013. "At this point, it is not worth getting back there and taking another one and spend a whole offseason trying to recover," Doumit added. "It's the safe route." With Joe Mauer also dealing with post-concussion issues, Josmil Pinto will receive the bulk of the starts at catcher down the stretch.

Twins activated C/OF Ryan Doumit from the 7-day disabled list. Doumit wound up missing just one day more than a minimum with concussion-related symptoms. The 32-year-old returns to a .244/.310/.389 batting line with nine homers and 44 RBI this season.

Ryan Doumit has passed a concussion test and could be activated from the disabled list on Friday. Doumit passed his ImPACT concussion test on Thursday, but the Twins still need to get Major League Baseball's approval before he's reinstated from the DL. "Everything is pointing to an activation in the next day or two," GM Terry Ryan said Thursday. "But it'll probably be tomorrow."

Twins general manager Terry Ryan anticipates Ryan Doumit (concussion) being activated from the 7-day disabled list on Thursday or Friday, barring any setbacks. Doumit is eligible to return as soon as Thursday, though it seems the Twins may give him an extra day. The 32-year-old is batting .244/.310/.389 with nine home runs and 44 RBI in 99 games this season.

Ryan Doumit (concussion) could be activated from the 7-day disabled list Thursday. It's the first day he's eligible to return. The Twins will provide an update on Doumit's status after he's reevaluated early next week.

Twins placed C/OF Ryan Doumit on the 7-day disabled list, retroactive to August 8, with a concussion. Doumit left Wednesday's game after experiencing nausea. He'll be required to miss at least a week, but with concussions, there's no telling how long he'll ultimately be sidelined.

Ryan Doumit is likely headed to the disabled list with concussion-like symptoms. Doumit took a foul tip to the head on Sunday against Houston. He felt nauseous on the team's flight to Kansas City later that day. Doumit didn't tell anyone about his symptoms until he felt "in a fog" behind the plate this evening. Josh Willingham is ready for activation and will likely replace Doumit on the active roster.
