Josh Donaldson Unlikely To Be Moved By Blue Jays

Aug 26, 2018 7:26 AM

A waiver trade would be possible if Josh Donaldson got into some rehab games this month, but with time running out that appears unlikely.

The Toronto Blue Jays couldn't have placed Donaldson on waivers because he's yet to demonstrate that he's healthy enough to get on the field.

Donaldson, 32, is on the 60-day disabled list with a left calf injury. He has hit .234/.333/.423 with five home runs in 159 plate appearances.
