Josh Donaldson activated off DL, set for Indians debut Tuesday

Josh Donaldson will make his Cleveland Indians debut on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Rays, batting fifth and playing third base.

The Indians activated Donaldson from the disabled list earlier Tuesday. The 32-year-old has been sidelined by a left calf strain since late May.

Donaldson joined Cleveland just before the Aug. 31 waiver deadline, making him eligible to play for the Indians in the postseason.

After acquiring Donaldson from Toronto, the Indians placed him back on the 10-day disabled list on Sept. 3 and sent him on a minor league rehab assignment.
