Josh Donaldson “Iffy” For Friday Activation rotoballer.com Thu 6/7/18 1:25 PM
Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson (calf) is first eligible to come off the disabled list on Friday, but according to Donaldson himself, he is feeling "kinda iffy" about the chances of that. Donaldson has been out of action since May 28 with a calf injury, and while there hasn't been any indications there's been a setback, these things can take time. Fantasy owners should want him to take the time he needs to rest up and get completely healthy for what will hopefully be a monster se[...]
Reds Select Jonathan India Fifth Overall rotoballer.com Mon 6/4/18 3:43 PM
The Cincinnati Reds selected third baseman Jonathan India out of Florida with the fifth pick in the MLB amateur draft. India has drawn comparisons to Josh Donaldson and Alex Bregman due to his combination of athleticism and power. India is strong and possesses multi-positional versatility but will most likely settle in at third base in the bigs. India is hitting .364 with 18 home runs, 12 steals and a .733 slugging percentage. The Reds have a history of moving prospects around the diamond, but c[...]
Josh Donaldson Headed to 10-Day DL rotoballer.com Fri 6/1/18 2:27 PM
Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson (calf) has been placed on the 10-day disabled list. He suffered a calf injury while running the bases during Monday's contest. He was not able to make enough progress over the last few days to avoid a disabled list stint. The team is calling the injury left calf tightness, so at least it's not a strain, which would usually take longer to heal. Yangervis Solarte is expected to be the Jays main option at third base with Donaldson down. There is a chan[...]

Josh Donaldson Doesn’t Believe Calf Injury Is Serious rotoballer.com Tue 5/29/18 6:50 AM
In a sigh of relief for fantasy owners and Toronto Blue Jays fans alike, the calf tightness third baseman Josh Donaldson suffered on Monday is not believed to be serious (according to him). He seemed to suffer the injury running the bases after a Justin Smoak double. It's unclear at this point if Donaldson is going to miss time, but it does sound likely he will sit out at least one game. Perhaps a couple of days off would do Donaldson some good. He has struggled mightily this season, slashing a [...]
Josh Donaldson Leaves Game With Potential Leg Injury rotoballer.com Mon 5/28/18 10:58 AM
Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson (leg) left Monday afternoon's game against the Red Sox in the fifth inning. He appeared to be struggling running the bases after teammate Justin Smoak hit a double. The former MVP has battled injuries this season, sitting out a chunk of games earlier with shoulder problems. In 35 games, he's slashing just .228/.321/.419 with five homers and 16 RBI. It's not the kind of production the Jays or fantasy owners would have expected. If Donaldson is force[...]
Josh Donaldson Emerges By Doubling Twice rotoballer.com Wed 5/23/18 5:35 AM

In a 5-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels, the slumping Toronto Blue Jays third baseman finished 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored. The former American League MVP hadn't picked up a hit in the four games prior to Tuesday, a skid that saw him go 0-for-13 with four strikeouts. Hopefully this is the start of good things to come for Donaldson, who just hasn't been able to get going after a shoulder injury kept hi[...]
Fourth Straight Hitless Game For Josh Donaldson rotoballer.com Sun 5/20/18 4:46 PM
Another day, another hitless effort for Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson. The former American League MVP is really struggling at the dish right now; he hasn't picked up a hit over his last four games and is mired in an 0-for-13 slump. Things weren't much better before that, either, as Donaldson simply hasn't been very good since returning from the disabled list in early May. There's still no reason to panic here -; Donaldson went through struggles in 2017 as well before a ridiculou[...]
