Donaldson to have MRI on calf

[HERPDERP]

time to panic

 

 

[jaysblue]

Well f*** thats not good news. Hopefully its #FakeNews

[FrozenRopes]

All that Viking training...

[jays4life19]

Season over.

[Horses Fart]

Season over.

 

Down the shitter she goes! Hope Edwin can pick up the slack......oh wait........

[fatcowxlive]

f*** I just saw this... hopefully nothing serious

 

Maybe it's day to day or something

[saskjayfan]

probably won't be able to do baseball activities for a couple weeks...will probably return to golf in a week though.

[L54]

He'll be fine

[Jonn]

I hate Spring Training.

[Belliss101]

My weekend has been ruined

[jaysfan2014]

Luckily it's a extended spring training this year due to the WBC--so Donaldson will have time to recover.

[Slade]

Season over, even if he comes back nagging calf injury all year.

[jays4life19]

Season over, even if he comes back nagging calf injury all year.

 

Knowing the Jays it's probably more like....

 

1. Jays report a mild strain and he's day to day.

2. After a few weeks it's reported it's a tear and he will miss the first few weeks of season.

3. May rolls around and now it's reported he has flesh eating disease and his career is over.

So no different than last year for him

#Bluejays announce a right calf strain for Josh Donaldson. Expected to be able to start the season. #Jays

[JosJos]

Season over. See you all next year.

[Inklink]

All part of the Shatkins plan to drive this team into the ground and rebuild.

[TheHurl]

Luckily he seems like the level headed type that knows to take it easy when injured...

[BlueJayWay]

Normally this wouldn't be that concerning, but didn't Donaldson have some calf issues last year?

[rydermike]

Can Steve Pearce play 3rd and 1st at the same time so we don't have to trot out Smoak lol. Be like our steroided former first baseman

[Stangstag]

Yes, he had a calf problem at the beginning of last season too. Didn't seem to hinder his abilities

you left out the amputation just before the all star break and team releasing message saying they are unsure if he will be available before the post season

I think we'd certainly see Barney at third, not Pearce.

[rydermike]

True, brainfart. Completely forgot about him. All the discussion has been about LF (Upton/Carrera/Pompey) and 1B (Pearce/Smoak) for weeks that I didn't even think of our reliable utility man

[glory]

This is why they should have signed Valbuena.

[Krylian]

Bautista at 3B

[burlingtonbandit]

I like how this team always says "mild" when referring to injuries. Always seems to turn into a week to week thing. Given the wording of "should be ready to start the season" that sounds concerning since that is 6 weeks from now.

[HERPDERP]

So much for "ready by opening day"

 

[BlueJayWay]

Twitter tells me last year it was the left calf muscle that was the problem, this year it's the right.

 

Then there's this

 

 

So a bit more than mild.

[Gary]

My sources tell me he actually injured it during an MMA session earlier this month and aggravated it this week in spring training.
