Josh Donaldson’s tenure with the Yankees has come to an end, as the team announced that the veteran third baseman was released on Tuesday.
Donaldson will leave New York after two seasons with the franchise. He featured in a total of 165 games with the team, having struggled to produce on offense while also battling injuries in 2023.
The 37-year-old was placed on the 10-day IL with a calf injury on July 16, and he was subsequently transferred to the 60-day IL later that month. At best, Donaldson would’ve been targeting a return to action on Sept. 14, the first day he’d be eligible for activation from the Injured List.
