Yankees could lose polarizing infielder for the rest of 2023 with a calf strain

Another day, another serious injury for the New York Yankees. They’ve suffered a myriad of injuries throughout the season, most notably to their best player Aaron Judge, but now they’re dealing with an injury in their infield. Dealing with a second lower-body injury, they’ll likely hand over everyday reps to Oswald Peraza for an extended period of time at third base.

Against the Chicago Cubs prior to the All-Star Break, Josh Donaldson came up limp with what seemed to be a tweak to his calf. Staying in the game, it was brushed off as nothing major, although we saw him exit a game earlier in the year after pulling his hamstring, causing him to miss a month of the season.
