Brendan Donovan | Fantasy Outlook

Concussion symptoms keep Brendan Donovan sidelined as season winds down

Donovan remains on the shelf without any game action over the past two weeks after suffering a concussion from a stray batting-cage baseball in late August. He continues to battle lingering nausea and dizziness during pregame workouts, leaving third base duties to Weston Wilson. The third-place Mariners (73-83) are playing out the string, giving them little incentive to rush him back.

When active, Donovan was his typical disciplined self, batting .277 with a stellar .373 on-base percentage across 40 games this season. Those numbers mirror his reliable career baseline, but recurring injuries—including an earlier groin strain—have turned 2026 into a lost campaign. With only days remaining in the regular season, his chances of returning to make a fantasy impact are virtually nonexistent.

Seattle opens a six-game homestand facing Houston and the Angels, drawing vulnerable arms like Cristian Javier (5.31 ERA) and Grayson Rodriguez (6.21 ERA). However, Donovan will not participate in this favorable scoring environment while he remains shut down from full baseball activities. Fantasy managers in season-long leagues should leave him on the bench or move on entirely. Sit.
