The New York Yankees are relying on infielder Josh Donaldson to provide a much-needed boost to the team's lineup. Donaldson, who has been out of action since late June due to a calf injury, is set to return to the field soon.
According to team manager Aaron Boone, Donaldson has been making steady progress in his recovery and looks set to rejoin the Yankees' lineup in the next week. "Josh is a key part of our team and we're looking forward to having him back on the field," Boone said.
For the Yankees, Donaldson's return could not come at a better time. The team has been struggling in recent weeks, as injuries and inconsistent performances have left them 7.5 games behind the first-place Tampa Bay Rays in the American League East.
Donaldson, who was acquired by the Yankees in a trade with the Minnesota Twins earlier this season, has been a key player for the team when fit. In 36 games with the Yankees, he has hit .298 with six home runs, 21 RBI, and 23 runs scored.
Boone believes that Donaldson's presence in the lineup will provide a much-needed spark to the team's offense, which has struggled to score runs in recent weeks. "Josh brings a lot of energy and intensity to the field," Boone said. "He's a proven leader and a clutch hitter, and we're looking forward to having him back in the lineup."
While Donaldson's return will undoubtedly be a positive for the Yankees, the team will still face some significant challenges in the coming weeks. The Rays and the Boston Red Sox, who are currently in second place in the division, are both playing well and will be difficult opponents for the Yankees to beat.
Additionally, the team will need to continue to deal with a number of injury issues. Star outfielder Aaron Judge has been out of action for several weeks with a calf injury, and starting pitcher Luis Severino is still recovering from Tommy John surgery.
Despite these challenges, the Yankees remain confident that they can turn their season around and make a run at the playoffs. With Donaldson back in the lineup, the team will have an important piece of the puzzle back in place for the final stretch of the regular season.
