Yankees' Josh Donaldson Out Multiple Weeks After Hamstring Injury Diagnosed as Strain

The New York Yankees will be without third baseman Josh Donaldson for a few more weeks.

Team manager Aaron Boone said Friday that Donaldson would miss time with a Grade 1-plus strain, per The Athletic's Chris Kirschner.

Donaldson was first put on the Yankees' 10-day injured list on April 6 with tightness in his right hamstring. He played a Double-A rehab game Tuesday before an MRI later in the week revealed the strain.

The veteran third baseman, who has slashed .125/.176/.313 through five games, was hoping for a bounce-back season after seeing his numbers dip during his first year in New York.
