MINNEAPOLIS — Josh Donaldson had a memorable return to Minnesota.
He was booed by the group ahead of each of his at-bats then had to duck out of the way of a 97 mph fastball from Trevor Megill in the major of the ninth of the Yankees’ 10-4 win more than the Twins.
Donaldson mentioned he experienced “no idea” if the pitch that buzzed him was intentional.
“I was just trying to get out of the way of the ball,’’ Donaldson mentioned.
He singled and walked but is just 2-for-14 since returning from the IL next a cortisone shot to his right shoulder.
Prior to Tuesday’s activity, Donaldson stated the shoulder “feels good.”
He attributed the lack of efficiency at the plate to the time he missed — an absence that started with a stint on the COVID IL then the cortisone injection.
“My timing hasn’t quite been in which I want it and that is to be envisioned,’’ Donaldson claimed. “[Getting] reps is a large part of it.”
Aaron Boone famous Donaldson has been drawing walks and hit a extended sacrifice fly to drive in the activity-winning run on Sunday in opposition to the Tigers in The Bronx.
This is also Donaldson’s initial vacation again to Focus on Discipline since the March trade that sent him to the Yankees.
He reported he experienced “no regrets” about his time in Minnesota, but acknowledged he and the team didn’t engage in as properly as he wanted right after signing his no cost-agent deal.
Just after requesting a trade when he was optioned, Miguel Andujar noted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and was scheduled to be in the lineup on Tuesday prior to the video game was washed out.
Phil Nevin, who was ousted as 3rd base coach by the Yankees immediately after very last time, was named interim supervisor of the Angels next the firing of Joe Maddon.
Boone, a longtime good friend of Nevin, identified as the news “emotional.”
“I’m genuinely thrilled for him,” Boone explained of Nevin, who was the Angels third base coach. “I feel he’ll do excellent. He’s these kinds of a wonderful baseball man and surely paid out his dues. He was almost certainly shut to landing a [managerial] task a number of unique occasions. He’s poured a lot into this video game.”
