Blue Jays' Josh Donaldson: Calf still not fully recovered

Donaldson is still experiencing lingering calf soreness, Mike Wilner of Sportsnet reports.

Analysis:

Manager John Gibbons is entertaining the idea of using Donaldson as a pinch hitter, but is taking the necessary steps to avoid aggravating his calf ailment. There hasn't been any indication that Donaldson will require a stint on the DL, so he should still be considered day-to-day.
