Donaldson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager John Gibbons made it clear that the team would ease Donaldson and Troy Tulowitzki back into action following lengthy DL stints, and indeed both are sitting for Wednesday's early-afternoon game. This marks Donaldson's second absence in six games since his activation. He's gone 4-for-16 with a double and a homer since returning to Toronto.
