Josh Donaldson is someone the Chicago White Sox needs to watch out for.

Another hitter the White Sox needs to be careful with during this four-game series is the third baseman, Josh Donaldson. Over the last seven days, Donaldson is hitting .417 and producing a slash line of .417/.467/.667.

He has five hits, one of them being a home run while drawing two walks and driving in three runs. Over six games against the White Sox this season, Donaldson is producing a slash line of .227/.292/.364 with one home run while driving in five runs.

On the season overall, Donaldson is producing a slash line of .251/.346/.468 totaling 51 hits with 11 doubles and 11 home runs. He has also drawn 31 walks and driven in 30 runs. Donaldson is swinging a hot bat and is holding down the middle of the order in an all-around hot lineup.

Donaldson has played much better on the road as well this season. He is producing a slash line of .295/.404/.516 away from Minnesota. If the Sox want to regain a strong lead in the Central division, they need to take care of business at home against a surging Twins team. With the dominant starting pitching and plethora of strong bullpen arms, the White Sox are poised to get back on track this week at home against the fourth-place Twins.
