As expected, Donaldson is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Donaldson has started every game at third base but one since May 23, so manager Brian Snitker will give the iron man a break Sunday with the NL East wrapped up. Austin Riley will man the hot corner in Donaldson's place.

Donaldson will likely be out of the lineup Sunday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Braves are prepared to rest some of their most prominent regulars now that they've clinched the NL East. It appears Donaldson will take his turn on the bench Sunday, and he could find himself out of the lineup several more times prior to the close of the regular season.

Donaldson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, walk and three runs in a 6-3 victory against the Blue Jays on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
He's not the same contact hitter he was, but Donaldson's power has returned this year. He already has 34 homers, which is more than what he had in either of the last two years. Donaldson has hit at least eight home runs in each of the last three months, and if he does that again in September, he'll at least tie his career high in the category. Donaldson is batting .260 with 34 home runs, 79 RBI, 85 runs and three steals in 481 at-bats this season.

Donaldson went 0-for-1 with four walks and two runs scored in Friday's 10-7 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Chicago pitchers issued only six free passes on the night, but Donaldson is used to drawing more than his fair share -- he's slashing .269/.419/.548 with seven homers, 10 RBI and a 24:25 BB:K this month. While his overall numbers are still short of his MVP peak, the 33-year-old does have a .903 OPS on the season, the fourth time in the last five years it's been above .900.

Donaldson went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs Sunday against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Donaldson provided Atlanta's only offense on the day, leaving the yard in the second and seventh innings of Sunday's series finally. Fortunately, it was just enough for his team to emerge with a 2-1 victory. The 33-year-old third baseman finished the weekend on a high note, collecting four base knocks (including three homers) over the last three contests.
