Josh Donaldson Nathan Ray Seebeck-USA TODAY Sports

New York Yankees third baseman Josh Donaldson will have his injury return delayed thanks to another injury.

Donaldson has only played five games this season due to a hamstring injury, but the veteran was thought to be nearing some sort of rehab stint. Now, however, Donaldson suffered a minor setback: he sliced his thumb while assembling something at home, delaying his return.

There was no word on which item Donaldson specifically hurt himself assembling, but it must have made a pretty good gash in order to slightly delay his return. For his sake, hopefully it wasn’t a drone or something silly like that.

The Yankees have had tough luck with injuries so far this season, as Donaldson, Giancarlo Stanton, and Aaron Judge have all missed some time. This probably won’t make them feel any less cursed.
