Donaldson went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-3 loss against Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Donaldson was one of the few Yankees who had success against Dean Kremer on Wednesday. After knocking a base hit in the second inning, the veteran third baseman broke a scoreless tie in the fifth with an opposite-field shot. Donaldson is now just 13-for-87 on the season, though nine of his hits have been home runs. Overall, he's slashing just .149/.216/.471 with 14 RBI and 12 runs scored through 97 plate appearances.

Donaldson is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Orioles, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

It marks three times in the last five games that Donaldson has been on the bench, and he's started just one contest at third base over that stretch. He's batting just .131 on the season.

Donaldson is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Donaldson started one game during Saturday's twin bill and went 0-for-4 with a strikeout. DJ LeMahieu will take over at the hot corner in Sunday's series finale.

Donaldson isn't in the Yankees' lineup for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

It's been tough at the plate for Donaldson this season, as he sports just a .143 batting average through 77 at-bats, but he has put together a three-game hitting streak. He'll sit out Game 1 while Oswaldo Cabrera starts at third base and bats eighth, but it's likely Donaldson returns for Game 2.

Donaldson went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 10-4 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Prior to the series against Oakland, Donaldson had not started any of New York's previous three games and was in a 6-for-48 swoon. However, the veteran third baseman showed signs of life against the club with whom he began his MLB career, going 3-for-13 with a pair of homers and five RBI during the three-game set. Donaldson did strike out six times during that stretch, so his offensive woes aren't behind him, but the Yankees can probably tolerate the lack of contact as long as he continues to produce runs. On the season, Donaldson's numbers remain ugly, as he's slashing .143/.200/.468 with a 30.6 percent strikeout rate, adding eight homers and 13 RBI over 85 plate appearances.

Donaldson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Donaldson accounted for the Yankees' offense against one of his former teams, but the rest of his teammates didn't do much. The third baseman was benched for three consecutive games versus the Rangers over the weekend, but he's expected to maintain a starting role at third base. He's hardly earned it with a .132/.200/.441 slash line, seven homers, nine RBI, 10 runs scored and no doubles through 75 plate appearances this season, though there's still clearly some power in his bat on the rare occasion he makes contact. Donaldson is also striking out at a 29.3 percent rate, his worst mark since a 14-game cup of coffee in 2010.

Donaldson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

It's the third consecutive game on the bench for Donaldson, who has gone 3-for-37 in his past 12 games. New York has a scheduled day off Monday, so the veteran third baseman will have four straight days to reset before Tuesday's series opener at Oakland. Donaldson will continue to have a regular role after this stretch, as manager Aaron Boone reiterated Sunday the 37-year-old is "going to play a lot," according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com.

Donaldson is not in Saturday's lineup against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Donaldson will sit for the second consecutive game, as he's in the midst of a 2-for-29 stretch across his last 10 appearances. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will draw the start at the hot corner while hitting seventh.

Donaldson isn't starting Friday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Donaldson is currently in the middle of an 0-for-13 stretch at the plate across his last four games, so he'll get a day off Friday to regroup. DJ LeMahieu will take over at third base and bat fifth.

Donaldson is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Donaldson has a .176/.256/.618 slash line with five home runs in 11 games since he returned from the injured list at the start of June, but he'll take a seat for Sunday's matinee. There's a strong chance the veteran is back in the lineup for Game 2. DJ LeMahieu will man third base and bat fifth in the first contest.
