Aviles has passed his concussion tests and will be available to DH in Thursday's doubleheader against the Twins, Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
While Aviles is not in the lineup for Game 1, it sounds as though he will be available off the bench and should serve as the designated hitter against right-hander Ricky Nolaso in the nightcap. Aviles, who was cleared by the team as well as Major League Baseball, is 7-for-11 with a homer in his career against Nolasco.
