Josh Donaldson still not ready to rejoin Blue Jays after baserunning test
TORONTO — Josh Donaldson is back with his Blue Jays teammates in Toronto. He just wishes he could play a game with them.
Donaldson took batting practice and fielded ground balls with his teammates at Rogers Centre ahead of Friday’s game against the Washington Nationals. He has been on the 10-day disabled list since May 29 with left calf soreness.
“I would like to be able to play as soon as possible, as soon as I can run,” said Donadlson in the Blue Jays clubhouse. “If that takes one game (in the minors), if that takes two or three games, so be it. I haven’t gotten to that point yet.
“I don’t know if there’s anybody that wants to be out in the field more than I do.”
