Donaldson has passed concussion tests, and will be monitored, but he's expected to be okay, Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Unlike teammate Jose Bautista (expected to play), Donaldson's status for Friday's game remains a bit more up in the air moving forward. He's expected to be fine, but that doesn't necessarily mean he will be in the lineup Friday. His presence would provide a big boost for the Blue Jays, but the situation should be revealed prior to the game.

EDGE Analysis

His campaign for MVP honors continues, as Donaldson has opened up a huge lead in RBI over every other major leaguer -- he's now got 111, and no one else has even hit 100. Sure, RBI might not be the best criteria on which to hand out hardware, but fantasy owners are certainly ready to give Donaldson their own MVP award, as he's been racking up stats nearly nonstop all year long. With a month of the season remaining, it's going to be interesting to see how high he can pile his totals.

He should have enough time to recover before the All-Star Game.
