There's something wrong with Josh Donaldson's shoulder
It might be time to panic in Toronto, and it's only Opening Day.
It appears there's something wrong with the throwing arm of Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson.
On more than one occasion during Thursday's season opener against the New York Yankees, Donaldson struggled to make throws to first base.

Donaldson, who only appeared in 13 spring games, going 4-for-27 at the plate, told reporters he hasn't been feeling "amazing" recently, per Sportsnet's Arash Madani.
"I wouldn't say I feel amazing right now, because I don't," Donaldson said Sunday. "But that's getting through some things. Hopefully by Opening Day everything is all good."
When asked if anything in particular was bothering him, Donaldson mentioned a "shoulder thing was an issue."
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons also mentioned two weeks ago that the 32-year-old was dealing with a calf injury.
The 2015 AL MVP missed time last season because of a strained right calf.
