Just when you thought the failed Josh Donaldson experiment with the Yankees was over, there might be one final act left. And no, we’re not kidding.
In the middle of July, New York put Donaldson back on the injured list with a calf strain. Initial reports said the injury was somewhere between a Grade-2 and Grade-3 strain. That led to Donaldson landing on the 60-day injured list. It appeared as though his season — and Yankees tenure — had come to a merciful end.
The 37-year-old had struggled to a .142/.225/.434 line with 10 home runs and 15 RBI in 120 plate appearances in 2023.
