TORONTO -- Josh Donaldson has increased the intensity of his workouts in Florida and should be ready to begin a rehab assignment at some point later this week.
Donaldson is currently going through a throwing program at the club's Minor League complex in Dunedin, Fla. Donaldson has been out since April 10 because of right shoulder inflammation, but he appears to have turned a corner in recent days.
The 32-year-old has been going through long toss and is scheduled to begin throwing to bases in the very near future.
