Donaldson (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Donaldson had been sidelined since May 24 due to right shoulder inflammation, but he received a cortisone injection after landing on the injured list and will return to the lineup after missing just over the minimum of 10 days. He'll start at third base and bat cleanup during Friday's matchup against Detroit and should reclaim his role as the Yankees' everyday third baseman while DJ LeMahieu shifts back to the keystone.

LeMahieu went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the first game of a doubleheader against the Angels on Thursday.

LeMahieu smacked a solo shot to left field in the fifth inning of Game 1 before going 0-for-3 with a walk in the nightcap. The veteran infielder is having a quiet season at the plate, slashing .252/.330/.393 with four homers, 20 RBI and a stolen base. He leads the team with 11 doubles.

Walls isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Walls has gone 2-for-15 with a homer, two runs, three walks and four strikeouts over his last five games, but he'll be held out of the lineup for a second straight matchup. Yandy Diaz will shift to first base while Harold Ramirez serves as the designated hitter.

Farmer is not in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with the Nationals.

Farmer will get a breather Friday after starting seven straight contests, going 11-for-24 with four homers, 11 RBI, seven runs and a stolen base in those games. Matt Reynolds will get the start at shortstop and bat ninth as the Reds face Josiah Gray on the mound.

Suarez went 1-for-5 with an RBI single and two runs in an extra-inning win over the Orioles on Thursday.

Suarez was involved in multiple critical sequences of the win, as his sixth-inning single that plated Julio Rodriguez knotted the game at 3-3, and he subsequently crossed the plate with the run that snapped a 6-6 tie in the 10th inning. Suarez now has a five-game hitting streak, one preceded by a seven-game streak that lasted from May 16-23.

Toro went 1-for-4 with a game-winning RBI triple, a walk and a run in an extra-inning win over the Orioles on Thursday.

The 25-year-old's 10th-inning three-bagger not only plated Eugenio Suarez with what would turn out to be the winning run, but he extended his hitting streak to seven games in the process. Toro's bat has come to life since mid-May following a positively dismal start to the season, as he owns a .321 average and .998 OPS across the 31 plate appearances he's logged in his last nine games.

Peterson went 2-for-3 with one triple, three RBI, one run scored and one steal in Thursday's victory over San Diego.

Peterson walked in his first at-bat and proceed to swipe second, registering his seventh steal of the season. He reached base again in his second plate appearance with a single, but his game-tying, three RBI triple in the bottom of the ninth was the biggest swing of the night for either team. Peterson eventually scored the game-winning run on an Andrew McCutchen single. Over his last six games, Peterson has eight hits in 16 plate appearances, including two doubles, two triples and eight RBI.

Madrigal is not starting in Friday's game versus the Cardinals.

Madrigal will get a day off after starting three straight games following his return from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, going 3-for-9 with two runs over those contests. Christopher Morel will get the start at second base while Rafael Ortega enters the lineup in center field and bats second Friday.

Moncada went 1-for-4 with an RBI on Thursday against the Blue Jays.

Moncada missed five consecutive games with a quadriceps injury, but he returned Thursday to play third base and hit third. He tallied a run-scoring single in the eighth inning to record his fifth RBI of the campaign. Moncada has had a fitful start to the season after being sidelined by an oblique injury as well as a few issues in his lower body, and he's hitting just .138/.176/.246 across 68 plate appearances as a result.

Farmer went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and a stolen base in an 8-1 win Thursday over Washington.

After being retired in his first two plate appearances, Farmer hit safely in his final two at-bats. He capped off the scoring of a five-run seventh inning with a three-run homer off Josh Rogers. The 31-year-old has been on a tear lately, hitting .452/.489/.810 over his last 12 contests.
