NEW YORK –<\/b> As expected, the Yankees returned outfielder Estevan Florial to Triple-A Scranton \/ Wilkes-Barre after calling him up to serve as their 27th man in Thursday’s doubleheader sweep of the Angels.<\/p>\n

Less expected was the move to send little-used righty reliever David McKay to Triple-A.<\/p>\n

So, what’s next?<\/p>\n

Manager Aaron Boone could see third baseman Josh Donaldson or designated hitter \/ right fielder Giancarlo Stanton come off the injured list.<\/p>\n

Most likely, it’ll be Donaldson.<\/p>\n

He’s eligible to come off the 10-day injured list since going on it May 24 with right shoulder inflammation.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Donaldson told reporters he didn’t think the shoulder would be an issue that lingers for him the rest of the season. (His shoulder di lui was first an issue in spring training.) He added that he felt good.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope not,\u201d Donaldson said. \u201cIn ’18, when I had one, I did a nice little throwing program and I was able to come back and I didn’t have any problems with it the rest of the year. I’m hoping that I’m good from here on out. I feel great. Obviously, to me, going into a game, hitting and stuff like that, I’m sure I might have a little bit of rust, but my legs feel great, my arm feels great, and my body’s feeling really good right now. “<\/p>\n

Donaldson worked out on the field and hit before Wednesday’s rainout. Stanton also hit on the field.<\/p>\n

Donaldson also reportedly planned to appeal a one-game suspension MLB gave him after he called White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson \u201cJackie\u201d and, according to the league, incited a benches clearing incident.<\/p>\n

When Donaldson went on the injured list, he was hitting .238 with five homers, 15 RBI and a .764 OPS in 130 at-bats.<\/p>\n
