AKRON, OHIO– Whenever newly acquired Josh Donaldson comes up and join the Indians, it will be raining. Of course, not the rain that will come from the sky.
“The bringer of rain” is what Donaldson calls himself because he can hit dingers.
That’s what he did Wednesdauy night in his rehab game in Akron with the RubberDucks. He finished the game going 1-for-3 at the plate. His time on the field lasted six innings before heading to the clubhouse while shaking teammates’ hands, carrying his bats and helmet in the other.
First at-bat, the third baseman flew out to left on a three-pitch at-bat.
