EDGE Analysis

There hasn't been any word as to why Donaldson was removed from Friday's lineup card at this point in time, but the third baseman will miss the series opener following Thursday's scheduled off day. In his place, Richard Urena was placed in the starting nine, batting ninth and manning third base.
