Donaldson went 1-for-4 with a walk, a three-run home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 12-5 win over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

His first-inning blast off Connor Seabold got the ball rolling on another huge night for the Yankees offense. Donaldson has gone deep in three straight games, amassing nine RBI during his power surge, but on the season he still carries a sluggish .231/.318/.412 slash line with nine homers, two steals, 28 runs and 32 RBI through 65 contests.

Donaldson went 2-for-4 with a grand slam Thursday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Donaldson broke the game open with his eighth home run of the season. In addition to homering in consecutive games, Donaldson has at least one hit in seven of his last nine starts. In that span, he's driven in nine and scored five runs. Despite the strong stretch, Donaldson is hitting only .231/.316/.402 across 269 plate appearances for the campaign.

Donaldson went 2-for-5 with a homer, two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 16-0 victory over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Donaldson was all over the scoresheet in Wednesday's blowout win. He launched a solo homer in the sixth inning, then sent Aaron Hicks home on a sac fly in the eighth. The third baseman came around to score again in the ninth on a Kyle Higashioka single. Donaldson has four hits over his last four games, but he has also struck out five times during that span, something that has plagued him as he has more strikeouts than hits on the year. He has a .226 average on the season to go along with seven homers and 25 RBI.

Donaldson isn't in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Donaldson will sit Thursday against Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Donaldson hasn't been at his best over his last eight games, striking out 12 times while slashing .194/.242/.290. DJ LeMahieu will start at third base Thursday.

Donaldson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's loss to Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees hit five homers in the contest, though Donaldson's two-run, third-inning shot was the only one that wasn't of the solo variety. The blast snapped Donaldson's 17-game stretch without a long ball and was his sixth overall this season. The veteran hit 26 home runs with Minnesota last season but is well below that pace through 49 contests with New York in 2022.

Donaldson isn't starting Saturday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Donaldson will get a day off after he went 2-for-11 with a run and six strikeouts over the last three games. Matt Carpenter is starting at third base and leading off Saturday.

Donaldson is starting Wednesday's game against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Donaldson served a one-game suspension during Tuesday's series opener against the Rays, but he'll start at the hot corner and bat fifth a day later. Over his last eight games, the 36-year-old has slashed .219/.282/.313 with three doubles, three RBI, a run and a stolen base.

Donaldson's appeal of his one-game suspension was denied Monday, so he'll serve the ban Tuesday against Tampa Bay, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Donaldson's suspension was issued after he made inappropriate comments to the White Sox's Tim Anderson back on May 21. It took several weeks for his appeal to be resolved, with the third baseman hitting both the COVID-19 injured list and the regular 10-day injured list in the intervening time. Expect DJ LeMahieu to handle third base Tuesday, but Donaldson should return to the lineup for Wednesday's contest.

Donaldson is not in Sunday's lineup against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Donaldson is hitting .219 with zero home runs and one steal in 32 at-bats this month. DJ LeMahieu will start at third base.
