Donaldson is dealing with a jammed thumb and he is listed as day-to-day, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Donaldson is out of the lineup Saturday due to some lingering thumb soreness after being jammed in Friday's game against the Red Sox. He is considered day-to-day, so there is hope that Donaldson won't miss much time beyond Saturday. Darwin Barney will slide over to start at third base for Saturday's contest.

Donaldson is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Manager John Gibbons will give his star third baseman the day off Saturday with the Blue Jays facing knuckleballer Steven Wright. Darwin Barney will take over at the hot corner Saturday, but Donaldson should be expected to rejoin the lineup for Sunday's series finale in Boston.

Donaldson went off Friday night, going 4-for-5 with a pair of home runs and five RBI as the Jays defeated Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Last year's AL MVP is heating up and the Blue Jays' offense is collecting dividends. Donaldson put two in the seats, the second of which broke a 5-5 tie in the eighth inning, giving him 13 long ones and 29 RBI on the year. Toronto's lineup has been inconsistent over the first couple of months, but there is no question they can pile up runs in a hurry when they get hot.

Donaldson went 1-for-4 with a solo homer Sunday at the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Donaldson launched his 11th homer to give the Blue Jays a two-run lead in the first inning of the game they'd go on to win. After not homering in 16 games, he's now left the yard in two of his last three contests to raise his slugging percentage to .517.

Donaldson went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Friday's 9-3 victory over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old has endured a forgettable stretch at the plate, with Friday's long ball marking his first homer since May 1. It was only Donaldson's second multi-hit game of May, and despite the production, still leaves the veteran slugger's line at .197/.305/.324 for the month.

Donaldson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
According to the Toronto Star's Brendan Kennedy, Donaldson is simply receiving a rest day Wednesday against the Rays after having played in each of the team's first 41 games. Recent acquisition Jimmy Paredes will fill in for Donaldson at the hot corner Wednesday, but Donaldson should be expected to return to the lineup in the very near future.

Donaldson was ejected from Sunday's game at Texas for his involvement in a bench-clearing brawl, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
The eighth-inning brawl was precipitated by Matt Bush plunking Jose Bautista, who proceeded to take out Rougned Odor in an attempt to break up a double play at second base. After some posturing, Odor clocked Bautista with a closed right fist, and the dance of the Blue Jays and Rangers was in full force. Although it's unclear what role Donaldson played in the ensuing action, he could be subject to a suspension once MLB examines the tape.

Donaldson went 4-for-6 with a double, two runs, and a walk in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
The slugger didn't go deep, but he still provided his fantasy owners with a very solid day. He has consistently been Toronto's best hitter and is looking to follow up his 2015 MVP performance with another strong campaign this season.

Donaldson went 1-for-3 with a solo homer, two runs and a walk Sunday at the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Donaldson's ninth bomb of the season gave the Blue Jays a one-run lead in a game they'd eventually go on to win. He's now homered in two of his last three games, and he boasts a.293/.391/.667 slash line.

Donaldson will serve as the DH and bat second against the White Sox on Tuesday, Brendan Kennedy of the Toronto Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Donaldson was hit by a pitch over the weekend that has left him with a bruised thigh, so he'll be relegated to DH duties for the second straight game. Given that he's been able to stay in the lineup, it doesn't appear to be a major concern but it may keep him out of the field for the time being.
