Twins Place Josh Donaldson On 10-Day Injured List, Recall Brent Rooker

By TC Zencka | April 3, 2021 at 2:45pm CDT

The Twins have placed Josh Donaldson on the 10-day injured list because of a mild right hamstring strain, per the team. The move is retroactive to April 2nd. Outfielder Brent Rooker has been recalled to take his roster spot.

Donaldson left the Twins’ opener after doubling in his first at-bat of the year. Donaldson has, of course, dealt with myriad injuries since his heyday in Toronto. This looks to be another of the ticky-tack variety. That’s not to diminish the difficulty of dealing with this sort of injury, as hamstring injuries are notoriously fickle. Still, the assumption right now would be that Donaldson shouldn’t miss too much time. Luis Arraez is slated to play third base today, and he could be a frequent replacement while Donaldson is out.

Rooker debuted last season with 21 plate appearances. He notched seven hits, including two doubles and a homer. A first round pick by the Twins in 2017, Rooker is a power bat who could be especially helpful as a pinch-hitter for the rest of the current series while they don’t have a designated hitter at their disposal.  The Twins return to American League rules on Monday when they face the Tigers in Detroit.

    Good luck in the future with whatever you choose to do Ty Buttrey. Yes I’m posting in here about it because comments are closed on the article. His Twitter post was genuine and you have to respect the man’s decision.

      Agreed. Good for him. Weird MLBTR didn’t send well-wishes or anything yet — probably means nothing but if it was a typical retirement or a career ending injury the tone would sound different?

      Second on that. Sad also to see that comments have to be closed. A man walks away from a job most of would be thrilled to have and at a pay rate most of us will never see. He doesn’t trash anyone, just says his piece. The sacrifice in fame and money is his, not ours, and it’s really incomprehensible that he’d kicked for it.

    Always thought the Donaldson signing was gonna look bad. So many Met fans wanted us to shell out major money for a guy his age and we already have other third base options. Bad contract.

    Can we just make it where paid subscribers are the only ones allowed to comment?

        No then if only paid subscribers were doing something they’d call it WS, WP and R.

        Why does the concept of true equality for all upset you? Be honest and be specific.

      I cannot express my opposition to this idea enough. It’s tough economic times for a lot of folks, and some people don’t have disposable income.

    maybe they don’t understand that there is something causing these injuries.. I’d look for a soft tissue issue in the knee.. lots of injuries like that can cause your body to compensate and you end up hurting things above and below the real problem.. a knee that isn’t perfectly stable..

      I’m no expert, but I feel like playing in a city with cooler Aprils might not help Donaldson. Muscles tighten, making it easier to pull and strain them.

      It’s not his fault that he’s hurt.
