On Wednesday, before the final game of the Jays homestand against the Rays, Donaldson underwent an MRI. Donaldson was returning to the scene of perhaps his best series of the season a year ago, and the Blue Jays sorely needed him to come through again, aching hip and all. ANAHEIM, CALIF.—How much have the Blue Jays needed the Big Three in their batting order — Josh Donaldson, Edwin Encarnacion and Jose Bautista — to step up and produce down the stretch? Donaldson had a pair of doubles and drew a pair of walks, scoring a pair of runs. Shortstop Andrelton Simmons followed with a home run into the Jays bullpen, driving Happ from the game.
