Donaldson was removed from Friday's lineup card due to an illness, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Donaldson should be considered day-to-day after catching a cold that was plaguing a few of his teammates in recent days. If the third baseman is forced to miss any additional time, manager John Gibbons may choose to place Jose Bautista at third and give Ezequiel Carrera a start in the outfield during Saturday's contest. For the time being, Richard Urena replaced Donaldson in the lineup for the series opner.
