Indians President Chris Antonetti Talks Donaldson, Injured Players and More; Four Takeaways

1. The Timetable on Donaldson

It’s the number one question about Josh Donaldson, and that’s when he might be able to get on the field. He took a big step according to Antonetti today with working out and running prior to the game.

“He had a chance to connect with our strength and conditioning and medical staff earlier today just to go through an assessment,” Antonetti said.

“He also did some running, agility drills, base running and taking batting practice. All around a very good day. The next step is we will sit down, visit with Josh and talk through what a plan will look like. We’ve not yet had a chance to do that.”

Antonetti said the timetable for Donaldson to play is still up in the air, but it was a positive sign he was able to take the field and workout today.

“Good to see today that he was able to do everything on the field and really wasn’t limited, but we have to make sure we’re thoughtful about how we build up his volume and what his progression from here looks like,” Antonetti said.

“We certainly want to involve Josh in that conversation and get his input and put that together with feedback from our performance staff, Tito, the coaching staff, and then come up with a plan that makes sense for everyone.”
