News about Josh Donaldson

After 13 years in Major League Baseball, Josh Donaldson retired from professional baseball on Monday on Sean Casey's podcast. He was a former American League MVP and three-time All-Star. Last year, Donaldson had one of his worst seasons, batting.152 with 13 home runs and 26 RBIs, as he spilt time with the Yankees and Brewers. Donaldson, a three-time All-Star, was named AL MVP in 2015 as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays.

With Major League Baseball rosters set to expand, the New York Yankees decided to break ties with two players as they begin one of the worst seasons in franchise history. Josh Donaldson, the third baseman for New York, was unleashed in the afternoon after only playing in 33 games this season. They made the unfortunate decision to place center fielder Harrison Bader on waivers later in the afternoon.

When CJ Cron hit an eighth-inning slam off Clay Holmes, the first home run allowed by the right-hander this season, Colorado, a National League-worst 36-58, took the lead. In the ninth against Daniel Bard's run-scoring infield single and Harrison Bader's sacrifice fly, New York tied the scores. For the first time this year, the Yankees led off a 7-5 victory over Gavin Hollowell (1-0), who was recalled from the minors after Josh Donaldson was put on the injured list on Sunday, forcing him to the injured list. Jones, the automatic runner, had a 450-foot home run on a fastball and sped away in Cron, on a fastball. Trejo made his first home run in 128 plate appearances this season on a hanging slider from Marinaccio (4-5), who lost New York to 5-7 in extra innings.

Anthony Volpe of the New York Yankees came uncomfortably close to an overexuberant fan in the midst of Saturday's game in Denver before security tackled the guy. The incident occurred during the Yankee's 6-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies in eight innings. The man is seen sprinting in from the outfield to the second base with one security guard in pursuit, according to a fan video from Coors Field. The guy threw a t-shirt at the Yankees rookie and then yell something as he approached Volpe before being arrested by a squad of guards. 'I was very surprised by it all, but I thought the stadium security did a great job and kicked him out of there,' Volpe said. 'Usually it's just some drunk idiot ru

On Tuesday, the New York Yankees also assembled a star-studded lineup at Somerset's Double-A affiliate, which also included Giancarlo Stanton, Josh Donaldson, and right-handed pitcher Tommy Kahnle. Stanton didn't impress, going 0-for-3 and taking a walk when Somerset lost to Red Sox Double-A affiliate Portland 3-1. In his fourth rehab game since returning from a strained right hamstring, Donaldson went 1-for-4 and Stanton was struckless in three at-bats in his first appearance since injuring his left hamstring on April 15. Kahnle pitched one inning, giving up one run, one hit, and walked two.

Aaron Judge, the Yankees' captain, missed his second straight game with a slight hip injury, along with Giancarlo Stanton, Josh Donaldson, and Harrison Bader. In five of New York's last seven games, the team was shut out for the first time this season and has scored two runs or fewer. Nathan Eovaldi pitched a three-hitter in his first big league nine-inning shutout, Ezequiel Duran hit a two-run homer in the fifth, and the Texas Rangers defeated the listless Yankees 2-0 on Saturday night for New York's fifth loss in seven games.

According to a recent report, at least two Yankees players told their agent this week that playing in the Bronx during the team's ALCS loss to the Astros was a 'unusually brutal time.' The Yankees were defeated 4-0 by Houston one round shy of the World Series, with the team's usually strong offense giving two or fewer runs in all but one game. Fans of the short-lived series didn't hide their displeasure, booing third baseman Josh Donaldson, and even Aaron Judge, as the slugger hit just.063 with zero home runs.

When you're the New York Yankees, this isn't good enough, and the usual caveats don't apply. It's not enough to make the playoffs every year, but it does not appear in nearly half of the sport these days. If the results don't add up and you're outspent by your cross-town rivals anyway, it isn't enough to have unlimited funds.

Fans of the Yankees' ALDS-clinching victory over the Guardians poured out onto the streets on Tuesday night to celebrate after the game, with a fan wearing a Joker mask. Following the 5-1 victory, the fan was captured with the look on top of streetwalking signs as Yankees fans around him went crazy. When the team's ALCS berth was commemorated, he let out a raucous howl at one point as he slapped a bus sign.

With Cleveland's second straight bloop hit in the 10th inning, the Guardians beat the New York Yankees 4-2 on Friday, and even their best-of-five AL Division Series at a tie apiece, with Oscar Gonzalez singled out in the run-ahead game. Jose Ramirez started the 10th against Jameson Taillon with an opposite-field popup that dropped right in front of left fielder Oswaldo Cabrera for a double. When third baseman Josh Donaldson threw the ball past second for an error, Ramirez was hustling all the way and slid into third headfirst. Gonzalez, the 15th-inning homer who won the first round of Tampa Bay on Saturday, was greeted with a soft opposite-field volley into short right off Taillon's first big league relief appearance after 143 starts. Josh Naylor had an RBI double that bounced off the wall in right-center on a hop off the wall.

The play's bizarre conclusion was tantally close to being ruled as a home run. Officials looked at the sixth inning strike and found it wasn't a homer, much to the player and Yankees stadium's dissatisfaction. 'If the Yankees had better fielding supporters, Donaldson would have had a double,' one user said, chastising the ball for not landing it when it was at the top of the wall.'

Aaron Judge stepped up to the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning with his team losing, and he fired his 60th home run of the season for the New York Yankees. Judge Stephen Miller rose to a level with Babe Ruth but just one behind Roger Maris, who holds the all-time record with 61. However, his team was 8-5 down. But then, Giancarlo Stanton led the ball into the stands with a walk off Grand Slam, resulting in a dramatic 9-8 win at Yankee Stadium with the bases loaded.

Slugger Giancarlo Stanton and his manager Aaron Boone have argued that the New York Yankees still have the power of their destiny. Corey Kluber limited the Yankees to two singles over seven shutout innings and the Tampa Bay Rays withstood Aaron Judge's 52nd home run, defeating New York 2-1 Saturday night to reduce their AL East deficit to four games. Stanton said, 'We're not where we want to be.' We're still in possession of a rare opportunity, so it's ours to take.'

In the tenth inning, Josh Donaldson struck a walk-off grand slam as the clock struck midnight to bring a fairy tale ending for the New York Yankees. On Wednesday night, the struggling Yankees beat the Tampa Bay Rays 8-7 to prevent a three-game sweep. Despite being wiped out a four-run deficit to spark extra innings, the home team seemed to be doom for another night of misery. But with all the bases loaded, Donaldson saved New York with a spectacular walk-off grand slam. The Yankees and social media went wild in honor of the occasion.

Carpenter, who wore a shield boot in the Yankees' clubhouse after their 9-4 victory, said he hopes he will not miss a month. However, a timeline will not be established until he meets with a foot specialist.
