On July 15, New York Yankees third baseman Josh Donaldson got hurt running to first base. It was, again, his troublesome calf and the injury was diagnosed as a “high-grade” strain that required a stint on the injured list. Such a move materialized on July 16.
At the time, it was believed that Donaldson would wind up missing the remainder of the 2023 season for the Yankees, with tiny odds of returning late in September. However, almost a month and a half later, it seems more and more likely that the 2015 AL MVP could be making a return to the active roster before the end of the campaign.
