Donaldson went 2-for-4 with a double, a run, an RBI and a stolen base Thursday in a 10-7 win against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Donaldson knocked in the game's first run with a sacrifice fly in the first inning, and he collected a pair of hits in the offense-heavy affair. In the seventh, the veteran singled and stole second base for his first theft since the 2019 season. Donaldson has followed a six-game hitless streak with a modest four-game hitting streak, and he is batting .313 (5-for-16) over the latter stretch.

Donaldson (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Donaldson had been sidelined since May 24 due to right shoulder inflammation, but he received a cortisone injection after landing on the injured list and will return to the lineup after missing just over the minimum of 10 days. He'll start at third base and bat cleanup during Friday's matchup against Detroit and should reclaim his role as the Yankees' everyday third baseman while DJ LeMahieu shifts back to the keystone.

Donaldson (shoulder) could be activated from the injured list when first eligible later this week, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Donaldson recently had a cortisone injection that appears to have done its job, as the third baseman is "really encouraged with where his shoulder is at," according to manager Aaron Boone. Donaldson is still awaiting the result of his appeal of a one-game suspension, but he'll be eligible to return from the IL on Thursday, per Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone stated Friday that Donaldson (shoulder) is feeling better after receiving a cortisone injection, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Donaldson is dealing with right shoulder inflammation, and his treatment appears to be effective thus far. The veteran has been swinging and doing light throwing, so he may not need to miss an extended period of time. Donaldson is eligible to return from the IL on June 3, but he may need to miss an additional game after being activated if his appeal of a suspension is not successful.

Donaldson (illness) was transferred to the 10-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation Friday, retroactive to May 24.

EDGE Analysis

Donaldson spent the last few days on the COVID-19 IL, but he continued to test negative for the virus despite exhibiting flu-like symptoms. However, he's also dealing with a shoulder injury that will force him to miss at least another week. Once the 36-year-old is deemed healthy enough to return, it's possible he'll be forced to miss at least one matchup since he's been issued a one-game suspension due to inappropriate comments he made to Tim Anderson last weekend. However, Donaldson is appealing the suspension. DJ LeMahieu (wrist) has missed the last four games, so Marwin Gonzalez has served as the starting third baseman recently.

Donaldson is still battling flu-like symptoms Tuesday, but he's tested negative for COVID-19, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

The fact that he's negative for COVID-19 suggests that Donaldson won't miss too much more time, but he'll be absent at least for Tuesday's game against Baltimore. He also has a one-game suspension hanging over his head when he returns, a punishment which stems from inappropriate comments he made to Tim Anderson on Saturday, but he plans to appeal, so he'll likely be in the lineup whenever he's activated.

Donaldson, whom the Yankees placed on the COVID-19-related injured list earlier Monday, received a one-game suspension and an undisclosed fine from MLB that he plans to appeal, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The suspension stems from inappropriate comments Donaldson made to the White Sox's Tim Anderson in the Yankees' 7-5 win Saturday. A decision on when or if Donaldson serves the one-game ban likely won't be made until after he's reinstated from the COVID-19 IL and his appeal is heard. Per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com, manager Aaron Boone said Donaldson hasn't tested positive for COVID-19, but the 36-year-old displayed symptoms consistent with the virus and was deactivated as a matter of precaution. The Yankees called up Miguel Andujar from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to take Donaldson's spot on the active roster.

Donaldson was placed on the COVID-19 injured list for an undisclosed reason Monday, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Donaldson hasn't yet tested positive for COVID-19 but is away from the team since he's experiencing symptoms, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. A timetable for the 36-year-old's return depends on whether he tests positive for the virus, but Marwin Gonzalez and Gleyber Torres will likely see increased playing time while Donaldson is sidelined.

Donaldson will sit Monday against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Donaldson finds himself on the bench in back-to-back games, though he isn't going consecutive days without making an appearance, as he started the first half of Sunday's doubleheader against the White Sox. It's unclear if there's a specific reason for his absence or if the veteran is receiving merely a routine day off. Either way, Marwin Gonzalez will get the start at third base.

Donaldson isn't starting in the second game of Sunday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Donaldson will get a chance to reset after he went 0-for-4 in Sunday's matinee. DJ LeMahieu will shift to third base while Gleyber Torres starts at the keystone.
