Donaldson went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 9-5 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran slugger has now launched 30 homers for the fourth time in the last five seasons, only missing the mark in his injury-plagued 2018. Donaldson is slashing .263/.378/.525 on the year, and his gamble on a one-year prove-it deal in free agency this offseason with Atlanta seems to have paid off handsomely.

EDGE Analysis
Donaldson has reached base in 11 consecutive contests, slashing .326/.420/.628 with three home runs, four doubles and a 7:12 BB:K over that stretch. After an injury-ravaged 2018 campaign split between Toronto and Cleveland, Donaldson has proven to be an excellent buy-low investment for the Braves, with his improved health playing a key role in his 100-point recovery in OPS this season.

Donaldson went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run Tuesday in the Braves' 11-8 win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Donaldson's 24th home run of the season gave the Braves an 8-0 lead, which proved to be crucial insurance with the Nationals mounting a spirited rally late in the contest. The long ball ended a relative dry spell in terms of power production for Donaldson, who managed only four extra-base knocks over his previous 10 contests. He'll be back in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale in Washington, batting cleanup while manning third base.

Donaldson went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run and four RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran third baseman was a one-man rally for Atlanta, slugging a two-run homer in the eighth inning and smacking a bases-loaded single in the ninth, but unfortunately none of his teammates could come up with a clutch hit of their own in a 5-4 loss. Donaldson has rebounded in strong fashion from his injury-plagued 2018, slashing .255/.368/.520 on the year with 22 home runs and 55 RBI in 93 games.
