Donaldson will be on the bench Saturday against the Astros.

Donaldson was on the bench for six straight games while dealing with a hamstring injury before returning to the lineup for the last two. There haven't been reports of a setback, so it's likely he's simply receiving a routine day off as the Twins look to avoid overworking him. With Minnesota firmly out of the playoff picture and Donaldson under team control though 2024, it would hardly be a surprise to see the veteran third baseman receive regular maintenance days down the stretch.
