Donaldson (calf) took ground balls Wednesday and participated in batting practice earlier in the week, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.
The veteran's workouts are encouraging and suggest that he may not be sidelined much longer. Donaldson can probably get by with only a few weeks of spring action to mold himself into game shape, and, unless something changes before draft day, he should remain a first-round candidate in mixed fantasy drafts.
