Blue Jays’ Donaldson expected to miss weekend series vs. Yankees

Former MLB player turned KC broadcaster, Rex Hudler, joins Baseball Central to give high praise to the Blue Jays organization, as he sees so much passion, intensity and willingness to win from the ball club in Toronto.

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson isn’t expected to come off the disabled list when first eligible on April 21 and will likely remain sidelined through the weekend.

Donaldson was placed on the 10-day DL due to a nagging shoulder issue April 11.

Yangervis Solarte figures to continue seeing the bulk of work at third base in Donaldson’s absence.

Blue Jays designated hitter Kendrys Morales is expected to be activated off the DL Friday — the first day he’s eligible.

The Blue Jays conclude their series with the Kansas City Royals Wednesday before opening a four-game set against the New York Yankees Thursday.
