Slugs first homer Donaldson went 4-for-6 with a home run, three runs scored and two RBI in Wednesday's 13-12 extra-inning loss to the A's.

Impact He got the wild slugfest started by launching a solo shot off Frankie Montas in the first inning, Donaldson's first homer of the year. The veteran has hit safely in all six games he's played sandwiched around a hamstring injury, and on the season he's hitting .556 (10-for-18).

Not starting Thursday Donaldson isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Red Sox, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Donaldson was activated from the injured list Wednesday and went 1-for-2 with a walk and a run in the second game of the doubleheader against Boston. Willians Astudillo will start at third base Thursday, batting fifth.

Josh Donaldson is back, again, but can the Twins keep him healthy this time? "Hopefully in no time I’ll be out there to where we’re not even talking about it any more," Josh Donaldson said.

Activated Wednesday Donaldson (hamstring) was officially activated ahead of Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports. He is batting second and star...

Impact He worked out on the field in between games and was cleared by the Twins medical staff to return. A healthy Donaldson can still do a lot of damage and he slots right back into a favorable spot in the lineup.

Twins SS Andrelton Simmons out after positive COVID-19 test

Likely to be activated for Game 2 Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said he expects Donaldson (hamstring) to be activated ahead of the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Red Sox, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com...

Impact Since Donaldson has recently recovered from a right hamstring strain, the Twins weren't keen on having him play both ends of the twin bill, so the team will wait to activate him until the second game to maintain some extra roster flexibility. Assuming Donaldson is in fact activated following the first game, he should step back into a starting role at third base for the nightcap.

To be activated Wednesday Manager Rocco Baldelli said he expects Donaldson (hamstring) to come off the injured list and rejoin the lineup Wednesday against the Red Sox, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports...

Impact It seemed like Donaldson would come back at some point during this series, but we will have to wait until the third game of the four-game set or him to slot back in. Luis Arraez will still probably play plenty, especially against righties, at other positions or at third base when Donaldson gets a day at DH.

Not starting Tuesday Donaldson (hamstring) isn't included in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, signaling that he hasn't been activated from the 10-day injured list.

Impact After seeing extended work in a simulated game Sunday at the Twins' alternate site, Donaldson wasn't activated ahead of Monday's scheduled game against Boston. The Twins' decision not to bring Donaldson back Monday seemed like part of a plan to give him a maintenance day following the sim game, but his absence from the lineup Tuesday is more of a surprise. Since Minnesota hasn't suggested that Donaldson is dealing with any sort of setback, the expectation remains that he'll be activated from the IL at some point this week.

APRIL 12, 2021 • MLB.COM

Not activated Monday Donaldson (hamstring) isn't included in the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox and isn't expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list until at least Tuesday.

Impact The Twins' decision not to reinstate Donaldson from the IL ahead of the series opener shouldn't be taken as a sign that he experienced a setback. Instead, the 35-year-old is likely just receiving some extra maintenance after he logged six at-bats and played five innings at third base in a simulated game at the Twins' alternate site in Saint Paul on Sunday. Assuming Donaldson is feeling good after a full day of rest, he'll likely return to action Tuesday.
