Josh Donaldson

Braves third baseman Josh Donaldson is not in the team's starting lineup for Sunday's matchup against the Milwaukee Brewers. Rookie Austin Riley will draw the start at third base and bat fifth.

Fantasy Impact

While the presence of top prospect Austin Riley in the lineup at third base will cause some concern, this appears to be just a routine day off for Donaldson, who has been batting cleanup recently.

Braves third baseman Josh Donaldson went 2-for-5 with a home run in Friday's win over the Milwaukee Brewers. The homer was his seventh of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Donaldson is in the midst of a rebound season in his first year with the Atlanta Braves, and he was recently moved from the second spot in the lineup to the cleanup spot behind Freddie Freeman.

Braves third baseman Josh Donaldson went 0-for-2 with two walks in the team's loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday, batting cleanup for the third game.

Fantasy Impact

Donaldson continues to hit cleanup in Atlanta's new-look lineup that features Ronald Acuna Jr. leading off, Dansby Swanson hitting second, and Freddie Freeman hitting third. The move to cleanup, if it sticks, should mean more RBI opportunities for Donaldson but likely fewer runs scored.

Braves third baseman Josh Donaldson went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Diamondbacks. The homer was his sixth of the season.

Fantasy Impact

Donaldson is in the midst of a rebound season and should be a valuable fantasy contributor if he can continue to stay healthy, especially if he hits second in the Atlanta lineup all season.
