Donaldson went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run during Sunday's loss to Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

2017 looked like a lost season for Donaldson, but he's now launched 16 bombs through his past 34 games and is up to a .261/.384/.534 slash line for the campaign. It's safe to say that he warrants mention among the elite fantasy bats again.

Donaldson is out of Wednesday's lineup against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

After seeing time at shortstop in four games earlier this month, Donaldson has retreated back to the hot corner for the last week. His bat has been the bigger story this month, however, as he has 12 home runs and 27 RBI in 95 August at-bats. Darwin Barney will start at third base and hit seventh.

Donaldson is starting at shortstop and hitting second Tuesday against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

The Blue Jays will indeed continue to give Donaldson starts at shortstop, despite the fact that they are no longer playing in a National League ballpark. It may depend on league parameters, but at this rate, Donaldson has a chance to qualify at shortstop and third base next season. He is hitting .265/.393/.526 with 20 home runs in 81 games this season.

Manager John Gibbons slyly suggested that he'll continue deploying Donaldson at shortstop routinely through the end of the season, Richard Griffin of The Toronto Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shifting the slugger up the middle, and moving Jose Bautista to third base, gives Gibbons a chance to bolster his offense through the outfield. Donaldson has played three games at short thus far, and the Jays have 38 games remaining on the schedule. Judging by the sound of it, the third baseman should be able to gain eligibility at shortstop in the near future. Even more exciting is the prospect of Donaldson logging enough time this year to enter 2018 with that same flexibility.

Donaldson will make his first career start at shortstop Sunday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Manager John Gibbons is doing everything (and anything) he can think of to find offense before the playoff door officially closes on Toronto. Donaldson has been shuffled over to shortstop twice already, so Sunday will give him three games at the position. Depending on league requirements, the slugger has an outside chance of picking up shortstop eligibility before the end of 2017, if Gibbons likes what he sees Sunday.

Donaldson went 2-or-3 with two solo home runs and three runs scored during Thursday's win over Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Donaldson now has 10 homers, 22 RBI and 16 runs through his past 16 games and is up to a .272/.397/.543 slash line for the campaign. Injuries and a poor stretch after returning from the disabled list limited Donaldson's fantasy value for most of the season, but he's certainly made up for lost time recently.

Donaldson went 2-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Finally healthy, Donaldson is trying to make up for lost time and keep the Jays in the AL wild-card chase with homers in three straight games, along with a .364 (16-for-44) batting average, seven home runs and 19 RBI through 13 games in August. The 2015 AL MVP has a disappointing 18 homers and 50 RBI on the year, but he's more than capable of carrying a fantasy squad down the stretch.

Donaldson went 2-for-4 with two-run homer, his 17th of the year, in Monday's win over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Donaldson's blast in the opening frame turned out to be the difference in the Jays' 2-1 home win. The third baseman has nine long balls in the first inning this season, tying him with George Spring for first in the AL -- and three back from Bryce Harper for the MLB lead. He's been on fire this month, going 14-for-41 (.341) with six home runs, 16 RBI and 10 runs.

Donaldson went 2-for-4 with a pair of two-run homers in Tuesday's victory over the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

In his first two at-bats (first and third inning), Donaldson delivered a souvenir to the outfield bleachers for his 15th and 16th home runs of the year. Tuesday's power display gave the slugger six long balls over his last 10 games while pushing Donaldson's slugging percentage (.486) to its highest point since July 1. As summer winds down, the veteran is heating up. Through six contest this month, he's 6-for-21 (.286) with four homers, two doubles, nine RBI and seven runs.

Donaldson homered for the third straight day, going 1-for-3 with two runs and a pair of walks in Wednesday's win against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Wednesday marked Donaldson's first stretch of three games with a homer since August of 2015. He hasn't quite been himself this season, entering Wednesday with a .463 slugging percentage -- his worst such mark since joining the Jays three seasons ago. The good news is that Donaldson seems to be righting the ship at a critical point in the fantasy season. Over his last 10 games, the third baseman has raised his slash line from .236/.356/.422 to .250/.373/.474.
