The Bucs have placed Ryan Doumit on the DL after he was diagnosed with a concussion, and they've called up Jason Jaramillo, who was only gone for a few days. Here's a good article about the situation. Keeping Doumit out of action for a few days seems like the only prudent action, given the number of hits he's taken recently. They needed to DL him because they're already down a position player, with Andrew McCutchen out for the next couple of days, so they needed the roster spot. I assume Erik Kratz will continue to hit against lefties, and probably Jaramillo will get some of the at bats against righties.
