Would like to play one more season Donaldson said in an interview with Josh Wegman of The Score that he is "definitely up" for playing in 2024, but "that would be my last season no matter what."

Impact Donaldson has managed just a .678 OPS since the start of the 2022 season and was limited to 50 games in 2023 because of injuries. He'll also turn 38 next month. Donaldson's batted-ball data remained excellent this season, though, and he still rates fairly well defensively at third base. It would not be a surprise to see him get one more shot somewhere on a modest one-year deal.

Takes seat Wednesday Donaldson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Donaldson has a .743 OPS in 13 games since joining the Brewers and will head to the bench after the club earned the NL Central title Tuesday. Brian Anderson is starting at the hot corner and batting eighth.

Homers again in blowout win Donaldson went 1-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's 16-1 win over the Marlins.

Impact Donaldson kicked off the scoring in the Brewers' 12-run second inning, slugging a 371-foot, two-run blast off reliever Steven Okert. The home run was the second in as many games for Donaldson, who has provided Milwaukee with a much-needed power boost since joining the club earlier this month. While he's recorded only eight hits in 37 at-bats (.216) through 10 games, five of those hits have gone for extra bases (three home runs, two doubles).

Gets breather Thursday Donaldson is not in the lineup Thursday at St. Louis.

Impact This looks to be a planned day of rest for the 37-year-old third baseman, who slugged a three-run homer in the Brewers' 8-2 win over the Cardinals on Wednesday. Andruw Monasterio will man the hot corner and bat sixth in Thursday's series finale.

Blasts homer in win Donaldson went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 8-2 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Donaldson set the tone early with a first-inning blast, and that was all the Brewers would need for the win. He's gone 7-for-32 (.219) with two homers, seven RBI and four runs scored through nine games with Milwaukee after joining the big club Sept. 11. For the season, the veteran third baseman has a .159/.248/.442 slash line with 12 homers, 22 RBI, 17 runs scored and no stolen bases through 43 contests between the Brewers and the Yankees.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Clobbers first homer as Brewer Donaldson went 2-for-2 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-1 victory over Miami.

Impact After having his contract selected by Milwaukee on Monday, Donaldson delivered an RBI and a run scored in his Brewer debut. He was even better Tuesday, reaching in all four of his plate appearances (two hits, two walks), including a solo home run off Edward Cabrera in the fourth frame. Though the change of scenery could be exactly what the former MVP needed, it's worthwhile to remember Donaldson slashed just .142/.225/.434 in 33 games with the Yankees this season.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Gets call to Milwaukee The Brewers selected Donaldson's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

Impact Milwaukee transferred reliever J.C. Mejia (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL to clear room on the 40-man roster for Donaldson, who went 3-for-17 with two home runs and five walks in five games for Nashville after inking a minor-league deal with the Brewers on Aug. 31. Prior to catching on with Milwaukee, Donaldson hit .142 with 10 home runs in 120 plate appearances for the Yankees before landing on the injured list July 16 with a right calf strain and then getting cut loose in late August when he completed a minor-league rehab assignment. Donaldson will likely be ticketed for a short-side platoon role at either designated hitter or third base initially, but the 37-year-old could earn more opportunities against right-handed pitching if he fares well in his initial action with Milwaukee.
