Josh Donaldson met with media for the first time since being traded to Cleveland. When asked if he feels 100 percent, he quipped: "I feel very good about where I’m at right now. I’d rather not talk about it. I’d rather just you be able to see it and you could judge it yourself."

There remains a lot to sort out regarding Donaldson’s status with Cleveland. He may need more rehab, and the Indians are still trying to work out where he’ll play, but they’ll find a way to get him in the lineup, likely as soon as they can manage it.
