The Yankees, for better or for worse, appear stuck with Donaldson, whose average dipped to .127 with an 0-for-3 line in their 10-2 loss to Seattle.
Just like Joey Gallo. Just like Aaron Hicks.
Just like anyone who joins the Yankees and underperforms when their numbers — both statistically and monetarily — suggest something different, something better, should happen.The Yankees, for better or for worse, appear stuck with Donaldson, whose average dipped to .127 with an 0-for-3 line in“It’s tough, but this is part of playing in New York,” Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo said after the game, when asked about Donaldson navigating this stretch amid the booing crowd.
Yankees third baseman Josh Donaldson walked back to boos after he popped out during the seventh inning.When asked about potentially resting Donaldson, similar to how the Yankees rested DJ LeMahieu recently with three off-days, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said “we’ll see” and — it’s something he needs to “talk through.”With Donaldson, though, Boone said there are still times when he thinks the third baseman has gotten his “swing off.
Donaldson flew out to right in the second inning, grounded into a fielder’s choice in the fourth and hit a deep fly ball to center field in the seventh that Boone said he “just missed hitting out of the park.” “It’s about him being more precise at the ball,” Boone said, “because I do feel like there’s some pitches that he’s in position to impact and kinda going through a stretch of just missing.”
