Donaldson (Hip) Out of the Lineup
Tuesday, Sept. 13
Donaldson, 30, went down in Sunday's game and has not played either of the last two days, per Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.
In his second full season in Toronto, Donaldson is in the midst of another brilliant campaign. He's hitting .284/.400/.552 with 34 home runs and 92 runs batted in. While it's an uphill battle for him to win two straight MVPs, Donaldson remains optimistic about the possibility.
"I feel like it’s kind of hard to do that back-to-back," Donaldson said, per Steven Loung of Sportsnet. "You don’t see a lot of guys run the ship back-to-back. Look, Manny [Machado’s] having a great year, [Jose] Altuve’s having a great year. Fact of the matter is there’s time."
The Blue Jays appear ready to make the postseason for the second straight year, so they'll obviously have their fingers crossed Donaldson's injury is short term. He's their best all-around player and can't be replaced by the likes of Darwin Barney.
