GOODYEAR, Ariz. — Indians starting third baseman Jason Donald is getting X-rays after being struck on the left hand by a pitch from Chicago starter Gavin Floyd.
Donald was hit during an at-bat in the second inning. He stayed in the game and played in the field in the third before he was replaced by a pinch-hitter in the bottom half. Donald did not stop to speak with reporters as he was escorted by a trainer to a bus for the short drive back to the Indians' training complex.
The team had no immediate word on Donald's injury.
Donald moved to third this year after playing shortstop and second base in 2010. Last season, Donald batted .253 with four homers and 24 RBIs in 88 games. He was brought up from the minors in May when shortstop Adrubal Cabrera broke his left arm.
