A's GM Billy Beane said Saturday that with Scott Sizemore shifting back to second base, Josh Donaldson will remain the everyday starter at third base. Donaldson hit .290/.356/.489 with eight homers, 26 RBI and three steals in 47 games after returning from Triple-A on August 14. He turns 27 years old in December.

Josh Donaldson ripped a two-run homer in Monday's loss to the Rangers. Donaldson's blast in the second inning gave the A's the lead, which they held onto until the seventh before ultimately losing on a walk-off in the ninth. He's settled in as the everyday third baseman and is batting .305 with seven homers since the beginning of August.

Josh Donaldson (hip) went 0-for-3 in his return to the A's lineup Sunday against the Red Sox. Donaldson had been out since Friday night with a strained hip flexor. The 26-year-old should get regular playing time down the stretch at third base with Brandon Inge (shoulder) now ruled out for the season.

Josh Donaldson returned to action on Sunday September 2.

Josh Donaldson is day-to-day after coming out of Friday's game with a strained hip flexor. Brandon Inge is expected to come off the disabled list on Saturday, so he'll probably get the start while Donaldson takes a day to rest.

Josh Donaldson went 4-for-4 with a double and two RBI as the A's topped the Indians 6-4 on Friday. Donaldson's fourth hit of the game broke a 4-4 tie and gave the A's a one-run lead in the bottom of the eighth. Cliff Pennington then delivered an insurance run with a sac fly. Donaldson raised his average from .167 to .196 tonight. It looks like he'll have some short-term value in AL-only leagues while Brandon Inge is out.

Athletics recalled INF Josh Donaldson from Triple-A Sacramento. Donaldson will provide depth at third base while Brandon Inge recovers from a dislocated shoulder. The 26-year-old has hit just .153/.160/.235 this year in the majors and will carry zero value in fantasy leagues.

The Athletics are expected to recall Josh Donaldson from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday. This indicates that Brandon Inge (shoulder) will require a trip to the disabled list. Donaldson is batting just .153/.160/.235 in 28 games with the A's this season and can be ignored in fantasy leagues.

Athletics optioned INF Josh Donaldson to Triple-A Sacramento. Donaldson has batted just .153/.160/.235 in 28 major-league games this year. He'll work on his craft against a lesser level of competition in the Pacific Coast League.

Josh Donaldson came through with a homer, two doubles and five RBI in the loss to the Giants on Friday. Donaldson was making his sixth straight start since replacing the injured Brandon Inge. He went 1-for-17 in the first five, lowering his season average to .082, but after tonight, he's batting a robust .132/.130/.245 in 49 at-bats for the year. He's a long shot to have any value in AL-only leagues once Inge returns.
