Donaldson (hamstring) has commenced a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset starting Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Donaldson is already eligible to come off the IL and is taking batting practice ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Twins, per Marly Rivera of ESPN.com, and it'll be just a few more days before he's activated. The 37-year-old should be starting games at the hot corner for New York before the end of the week.

Donaldson (hamstring) "feels completely healed" and is hoping to be activated from the IL on Sunday, Randy Miller of NJ Advance Media reports.

EDGE Analysis

Donaldson began raising the intensity of his workouts earlier this week and appears to be just about past the strained right hamstring that landed him on the injured list April 8. According to Yankees manager Aaron Boone, the veteran third baseman "looks good" and is "moving well." Donaldson is eligible to be activated Sunday, though the Yankees are off Monday, so they may opt to take advantage of the extra recovery day and wait until Tuesday to bring him off the IL.

Donaldson (hamstring) has been upping the intensity of his workouts, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's not clear whether Donaldson has tested out his hamstring with any running yet, but he appears to be making progress. The hope is that he'll be ready for activation when his 10 days are up.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone believes that Donaldson (hamstring) could miss only the required 10 days while on the injured list, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Donaldson was placed on the injured list Saturday with a right hamstring strain, retroactive to April 6. The infielder is already hitting and throwing per Boone, and assuming there's no setbacks, there's a good chance Donaldson is manning the hot corner again for the Yankees in the middle of April.

Donaldson was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right hamstring strain, retroactive to April 6.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Aaron Boone indicated Friday that a move to the injured list was likely for Donaldson, and that transaction is now official. The veteran third baseman will be eligible to be activated April 16, though it's unclear if he's expected to be healthy by that point. DJ LeMahieu should operate as New York's primary third baseman in the meantime, but Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Oswaldo Cabrera could also be in the mix.

Donaldson (hamstring) is likely to require an injured list stint, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The hamstring injury which forced Donaldson from Wednesday's game against the Phillies was downplayed at the time, but he apparently hasn't made as much progress as anticipated. The team will make an official call on a potential IL move later Friday. DJ LeMahieu should be the Yanks' primary third baseman while Donaldson is out, but Oswaldo Cabrera and Isiah Kiner-Falefa are also options.

Donaldson (hamstring) is not in the Yankees' lineup for Friday's game in Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

The hamstring injury which forced Donaldson from Wednesday's game versus the Phillies was not deemed serious, but he'll be held out even after Thursday's off day. DJ LeMahieu will be at third base.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said after Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Phillies that Donaldson's right hamstring injury isn't expected to be too serious, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Donaldson could still undergo an MRI, which would reveal more about the severity of his injury. At this juncture, though, the team doesn't seem to be fearing an extended absence. The Yankees are off Thursday before starting a weekend series in Baltimore.

Donaldson exited Wednesday's game against the Phillies due to right hamstring tightness, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees will re-evaluate Donaldson on Thursday. Thursday's game in Baltimore has already been postponed, so the third baseman presumably has a shot at returning for New York's next contest Friday.
