Donaldson started as Toronto's designated hitter and went
0-for-4 with a pair of groundouts and strikeouts.
The reigning American League Most Valuable Player was injured
during his fourth at-bat, as he grounded out to second base for
the final out of the sixth inning.
Earlier Donaldson tossed his bat after striking out in the third
and it angered manager John Gibbons. Television cameras caught
him and Gibbons yelling at each other before being separated by
shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and catcher Josh Thole.
Donaldson is batting .289 with 28 home runs and 80 RBIs this
season.

Veteran right-handed reliever Jonathan Papelbon, released by the
Washington Nationals on Saturday at his request, is getting
interest from multiple teams, including the Boston Red Sox and
Chicago Cubs.
The former closer expects to make a decision on his next team
within 24 hours, a source told ESPN.
Red Sox manager John Farrell told reporters Tuesday he has
reached out to Papelbon personally. Should the free agent sign
with Boston, Farrell said he would not be the closer.

The Cleveland Indians placed right-hander Josh Tomlin on the

11-6 with a 4.14 ERA this season.
Right-hander Danny Salazar, who has been on the 15-day disabled
list with a sore elbow, will be activated Thursday, when he is
scheduled to start against the Chicago White Sox. (Editing by
