DUNEDIN, Fla. -- That eerie silence you may have noticed on Saturday afternoon was the Blue Jays' fan base collectively holding its breath. They can relax, Josh Donaldson is fine.
Donaldson left Saturday's 6-3 victory over the Tigers after one inning, which created mass hysteria from people on social media who feared the potential MVP candidate had a setback with his injured right shoulder. Turns out, it was just dehydration.
The 32-year-old experienced some cramping during the first inning. It became noticeable while fielding a ground ball in the top half, and it became even more apparent in the bottom half when Donaldson walked and then asked out of the game after reaching first base.
