Yankees fans react to Josh Donaldson's injury in the game vs. Rockies: "Type of good news I was praying for"

Josh Donaldson may be returning to the New York Yankees' injured list after hurting his right calf while sprinting out a ground ball in the seventh inning of a 6-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Saturday.

On his grounder, Donaldson pulled up as he approached first base. Between April 5 and June 2, the 37-year-old could not perform due to a strained right hamstring. The 2015 AL MVP for Toronto will now have an MRI.

@GaryHPhillips I don’t hate the guy. I think age has caught up to him. Too many injuries this year. And he’s not even playing the field
