ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) Toronto All-Star third baseman Josh Donaldson and Miami pitcher David Phelps lost in salary arbitration, and closers Aroldis Chapman, Greg Holland and Addison Reed all reached agreements before the scheduled start of their hearings Friday.

Donaldson was awarded $4.3 million by Steven Wolf, Robert Herzog and Gary Kendellen rather than his $5.75 million request.

The 29-year-old hit .255 with 29 home runs and 98 RBIs in 158 games last season for Oakland and was traded to Toronto in December for third baseman Brett Lawrie, left-hander Sean Nolin, right-hander Kendall Graveman and minor league shortstop Franklin Barreto.
