Yankees third baseman Josh Donaldson has been on fire since returning from the injured list over the weekend.
Donaldson didn’t hit much in the five games he played before going on the IL in April with a hamstring injury, but at least the Yankees could count on him for strong defense. He returned to the field on Friday and has made an immediate impact, hitting three homers in his last three games. In Tuesday night’s game, he made a pair of impressive defensive plays. The first came in the fifth inning when he made a strong off-balance throw to nail a runner at first. The second came in the ninth, on a more routine play that ended up being more difficult than it needed to be.
