ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Josh Donaldson is going to be out for a while longer. The third baseman who recently had to apologize to White Sox shortstop TIm Anderson and the Jackie Robinson family for what were at the very least insensitive remarks was placed on the injured list with shoulder inflammation Friday after days on the COVID-19 list.
“So he’s been dealing with a little bit of a shoulder (issue) off and on kind of all season. So when he came in the other day to get his IV (for the respiratory illness),with his shoulders we figured we’d MRI it at this time and it shows some inflammation in there. So he got a cortisone shot,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said before Friday night’s game against the Rays at Tropicana Field. “He’s actually at the stadium today working out, went through some light throwing, some light hitting and stuff and is feeling better.
“With the ability to back date it a couple days, hopefully it’s something that is a short thing,” Boone said. “Hopefully it kind of keeps making improvements in that this is something that benefits him over the long haul.”
