Blue Jays' Josh Donaldson: Starting despite HBP Friday
Despite being hit by a pitch on the head in Friday's game against the Royals, Donaldson will start Saturday's contest, Sportsnet's Barry Davis reports.
Analysis:
Donaldson was fortunate to remain in Friday's game after being struck, and he did not suffer any aftereffects Saturday outside of some swelling on his cheek. He will man the hot corner Friday and again hit third in the Blue Jays' new-look batting order.
