Josh Donaldson Expected To Return Thursday
6 years agoAtlanta Braves third baseman Josh Donaldson (calf) has missed the last two games, but the team is optimistic that he'll return Thursday for the series finale against the Padres. The 33-year-old has been experiencing tightness in his left calf, an injury that cost him most of the 2018 season. Donaldson was available to pinch hit on Wednesday, and he won't need time on the injured list. It's a breath of fresh air for Donaldson's owners, but it's also something to watch moving forward. He has an extra-base hit in 11 of his last 19 games and is hitting .299/.434/.627 over that span. Donaldson's 21 walks are tied for sixth most in the big leagues. Get him back into your lineups if he returns Thursday.
