Josh Donaldson stayed hot Monday, launching a two-run homer in a win over the Giants. Donaldson's blast off of Madison Bumgarner got the scoring going in the fourth, and it's all Dan Straily and the bullpen needed. The third baseman is now batting .370 with six homers and 25 RBI over his last 33 games, as he's been an early-season waiver wire gem.

Josh Donaldson finished 4-for-4 with a homer and two RBI as the A's beat the Astros 11-5 on Saturday. The magic continues for Donaldson, who boasts an outrageous .322/.398/.544 batting line in 49 games this season. He's on pace for 23 home runs and 97 RBI, which would make him a top tier third baseman (or very close to it) in standard mixed fantasy leagues. Some regression should be expected, but the 27-year-old is obviously a viable starting option in most formats right now.

Josh Donaldson went 4-for-5 with a paid of doubles against the Rangers on Tuesday. Donaldson and teammate Jed Lowrie are among the players tied for third in the AL with 14 doubles.

Josh Donaldson's solo shot in the eighth inning lifted the Athletics to a victory over the Yankees Sunday. Boone Logan left a ball up over the plate, and Donaldson ripped a no-doubter into the second deck in left field at Yankee Stadium. It was one of three longballs on the day for the A's, as Yoenis Cespedes and Luke Montz also went deep. Donaldson has given Oakland great production in the early going, batting .302 with three homers and 22 RBI.

Josh Donaldson went 1-for-3 with a double in Sunday's win over the Orioles. Donaldson has been a doubles machine, with seven in his last 12 games. He already has 29 hits this season and has been among the better AL third basemen thus far with a .319/.394/.516 line with 10 RBI and a .911 OPS. If can continue to stay hot, Donaldson should keep climbing up the A's batting order.

He's 8-for-19 with two homers the last four games after beginning the season 3-for-25 with no homers.

The batting average might not be there, but his pop should come in handy in AL-only and deeper mixed leagues.
