Twins' Doumit lands on DL

Published November 20, 2014

The Minnesota Twins have placed catcher Ryan Doumit on the 15-day disabled list with a right calf strain.

The first-year Twin is batting .264 in 33 games with five home runs and a team-leading 24 RBI.

Doumit had spent his entire career with the Pittsburgh Pirates before signing with Minnesota last November.

The veteran backstop has dealt with a litany of injuries in the past, including a left ankle sprain that limited him to 77 games last season.

To replace Doumit on the 25-man roster, the Twins recalled outfielder Ben Revere from Triple-A Rochester. Revere started the season with the Twins, hitting .278 in six games. He was batting .330 in the minors at the time of his promotion.
