NEW YORK —
“I’m bummed out,” Donaldson said. “I felt like it was going to be any day now.”
Donaldson has struggled in his time with the Yankees, hitting .125 with a home run, an RBI and two runs this season. Last year, Donaldson hit .222 with 15 homers.
The injury bug continues to strike the Yankees, with Giancarlo Stanton out with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, in addition to Carlos Rodon, Luis Severino and Frankie Montas all missing time.
There are positive signs, however, with Harrison Bader setting off for a rehab assignment with the Patriots. Boone said it will take Bader “a few weeks” to build him back up to playing nine innings.
