The Yankees released third baseman Josh Donaldson from the roster before Tuesday's game against the Tigers. Donaldson, the 2015 AL MVP, had been working his way back from a right calf strain that sidelined him in mid-July.
The 37-year-old had only played in 33 of New York's 131 games this year, batting .142/.225/.434 with 10 home runs and 15 RBIs. He came to the Yankees in the March 2022 trade that sent Gary Sánchez and Gio Urshela to the Twins.
