Mon Mar 2512:51DJ LeMahieu Starting The Year On Injured List
New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (foot) will start the 2024 season on the injured list, according to general manager Brian Cashman. "(It's been) a slow go on the recovery side" due to bone bruise, right foot," Cashman said. LeMahieu is dealing with inflammation and a deep bone bruise in his right foot and will have another MRI exam later this week to give the club an idea of how much progress he's made. The 35-year-old veteran might not have to miss much time, but there's also a chance his 2024 debut won't come until later in April. LeMahieu suffered the injury while fouling a ball off his foot in a spring game last week. With LeMahieu on the shelf to begin the season, Oswaldo Cabrera should operate as the Yankees' primary third baseman.

Sun Mar 2417:15DJ LeMahieu A Longshot For Opening Day
New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (foot) is reportedly a longshot to be ready in time for Opening Day, according to manager Aaron Boone. It sounds like the veteran infielder has not progressed as quickly as the organization hoped. The 35-year-old continues to deal with a bone bruise in his right foot that could linger into Opening Day. The good news is that LeMahieu has been able to participate in baseball activities. Although, LeMahieu isn't quite ready for game action, so he could begin the season on the injured list. Oswaldo Cabrera figures to see an expanded role if LeMahieu does miss time.

Wed Mar 2012:49DJ LeMahieu Won't Rule Out Being Ready For Opening Day
New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (foot), who is dealing with a significant bone bruise in his right foot in camp, isn't ruling out being in the starting lineup for Opening Day on March 28 against the Houston Astros. "I've had a good spring training. I've had plenty of at-bats. I'm pretty much ready," LeMahieu said. If the 35-year-old veteran isn't able to get into another Grapefruit League game before the spring schedule ends next week, there's a pretty good chance LeMahieu won't be in the Yankees' Opening Day lineup. When healthy, he's expected to be the team's leadoff hitter and everyday third baseman in 2024. If he's not ready to go for the start of the regular season late next week, Oswaldo Cabrera figures to fill in at the hot corner in the Bronx.

Mon Mar 1816:45DJ LeMahieu In Danger Of Missing Opening Day
New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (foot) has "a pretty significant bone bruise" on his right foot, according to manager Aaron Boone, and the skipper isn't sure if LeMahieu will have enough time to get ready for Opening Day on March 28 in Houston against the Astros. LeMahieu fouled a ball off his foot in a Grapefruit League game on Saturday, but X-rays came back negative. Still, the 35-year-old veteran, who is projected to be the team's regular third baseman in 2024, may not be ready to go for the start of the 2024 regular season. The season hasn't even started yet and the Yankees are dealing with injuries to Gerrit Cole (elbow), Aaron Judge (abdomen, oblique) and LeMahieu. If LeMahieu opens the year on the injured list, Oswaldo Cabrera should see a boost in playing time at the hot corner.

Mon Mar 1814:50DJ LeMahieu Still Pretty Sore
New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (foot) is "still pretty sore" but is moving around better on Monday, according to manager Aaron Boone. The veteran left Saturday's Grapefruit League game early after fouling a ball off his foot and underwent imaging on the issue afterward. "I definitely think it's going to cost him some days here," Boone added. Likely to serve as the club's leadoff hitter and everyday third baseman, LeMahieu took a step back at the plate last season, hitting .243 with 15 home runs and a .717 OPS across 136 games and 562 trips to the plate. LeMahieu's best fantasy production is behind him but he could be a decent source of runs if he can remain atop the Yankees lineup this season.

Sun Mar 1714:43DJ LeMahieu Avoids Serious Injury
New York Yankees second baseman DJ LeMahieu (foot) was forced to exit early during Saturday's game. The veteran slugger fouled a ball off his right foot and underwent imaging this weekend. Luckily, the X-rays came back clean which means LeMahieu has avoided serious injury. The team will likely give LeMahieu a few days off for the pain and swelling to stop. The expectation is that LeMahieu will be fine heading into Opening Day.

Wed Feb 1414:40DJ LeMahieu Expected To Hit Leadoff In 2024
New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu is expected to be the team's leadoff hitter in the 2024 season, according to manager Aaron Boone. "I want it to be DJ. Hopefully it is," Boone said when asked about the team's plans for the leadoff spot. It was also reported earlier in the offseason that LeMahieu would serve as the Yankees' primary third baseman this season. The 35-year-old endured a down season at the plate, by his standards, in 2023 as he hit .243 with 15 home runs and a .717 OPS across 136 games played. Perhaps most concerning is the fact his strikeout rate jumped all the way to 22.2%, a figure far beyond his 15.2% career mark and the highest rate of his MLB career. He also drew walks at a solid 10.7% clip a season ago.

Wed Dec 6 202313:27DJ LeMahieu Is The Team's Starting Third Baseman
New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu will be the team's starting third baseman next season, according to manager Aaron Boone. The Yankees had been mostly using LeMahieu as a utility infielder at third, second and first base, but he'll have a more permanent home at the hot corner in the Bronx in 2024. It means that Oswald Peraza may have to spend more of his time in the outfield or as a bench bat, especially after the team just acquired outfielder Alex Verdugo from the division-rival Boston Red Sox. The 35-year-old LeMahieu, a three-time All-Star, hit a career-low .243 (121-for-497) this past season with 15 home runs, 22 doubles, three triples, 44 RBI and 55 runs scored in 136 games. LeMahieu isn't much of an asset in the average department at this point, but he's a valuable table-setter for a Yankees lineup that could be adding superstar Juan Soto this week.

Wed Sep 13 202318:22DJ LeMahieu On The Bench Wednesday
New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Fantasy managers don't need to be alarmed as this appears to be a routine rest day for the veteran infielder. LeMahieu sat out the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader as well. He's currently in the middle of a 1-for-16 slump at the plate. Jake Bauers will cover first base and bat seventh versus right-hander Tanner Houck on Wednesday.

Fri Aug 25 202321:26DJ LeMahieu Totals Nine Bases
New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu had a big night on Friday, going 3-for-4 with two home runs, two RBI, a walk, and three runs scored. That makes it 11 homers for the utility man on the season. Though he's struggled most of the year, he is turning it on over the last 15 games with a .327/.435/.538 slash line. LeMahieu can help teams when he's right, so if he's available, pay close attention to see if this hot hitting lasts.

Mon Aug 14 202317:32DJ LeMahieu Back In Yankees Lineup
New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (calf) has returned to the team's starting lineup on Monday and is playing first base and batting sixth in the order against Atlanta Braves left-hander Max Fried. This will be LeMahieu's first action since being scratched from last Wednesday's lineup with a tight calf. The 35-year-old veteran infielder hasn't quite performed up to expectations this year, slashing a mediocre .240/.315/.373 with eight home runs, 18 doubles, two triples, 29 RBI and 35 runs scored in 387 trips to the plate and 96 games. The three-time All-Star has been better since the All-Star break, though, hitting .319 (22-for-69) with a home run, five doubles, two RBI and seven runs scored in 20 games (19 starts). Hopefully, LeMahieu is able to stay healthy and finish out the year on a higher note.

Sun Aug 13 202312:14DJ LeMahieu Still Sidelined
New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (calf) is still not playing on Sunday with the team taking on the Miami Marlins. LeMahieu is missing his fifth straight game this week with a sore right calf, but he's available to pinch hit on Sunday and should be able to avoid a trip to the injured list. Isiah Kiner-Falefa is making another start at the hot corner for the Yankees on Sunday and is hitting seventh in the batting order against Marlins right-hander Eury Perez. LeMahieu has been a pretty big disappointment for fantasy managers in 2023, but he's been better since the All-Star break, going 22-for-69 (.319) with a homer, five doubles, two RBI and seven runs scored in 20 games (19 starts). Overall, he's slashing .240/.315/.373 with eight home runs, 29 RBI and 35 runs scored in 346 at-bats.

Fri Aug 11 202316:23DJ LeMahieu Still Not Ready To Return
New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (calf) remains sidelined for Friday's contest against the Miami Marlins. With LeMahieu resting again, utility man Isiah Kiner-Falefa will start at the hot corner and bat leadoff for the Yanks against Marlins left-hander Jesus Luzardo. LeMahieu was scratched from Wednesday's lineup with right-calf tightness and will remain off the field after an off day on Thursday. Fantasy managers will want to check back to see if the 35-year-old veteran will be back in there on Saturday. The three-time All-Star has had a pretty disappointing 2023 season in his fifth year in the Bronx, hitting just .240 (83-for-346) with eight home runs, 18 doubles, two triples, 29 RBI and 35 runs scored in 96 games.

Wed Aug 9 202319:41DJ LeMahieu Scratched On Wednesday
New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (calf) has been scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup against the Chicago White Sox. It appears the 35-year-old is dealing with left calf tightness, so the team will play it safe and hold him out of this game. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will move over to third base with Oswaldo Cabrera being inserted into the lineup. The assumption is that LeMahieu is day-to-day, but fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on his status.

Thu Jun 22 202315:17DJ LeMahieu Re-Enters Starting Lineup Thursday
New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu is back in the starting lineup Thursday night against Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo. It's the first appearance for LeMahieu over the last four days and just the second since June 14, although no particular injury has been reported. Yankees skipper Aaron Boone recently said the veteran was just working on some things amidst a tough stretch at the plate. LeMahieu is hitting just .171 with a .537 OPS and .228 wOBA across 36 plate appearances in the month of June, walking in just one of those trips to the plate. His assignment will be tough on Thursday against an electric arm in Woo while LeMahieu will hit out of the leadoff spot in the series finale with Seattle.

Sat May 27 202318:42DJ LeMahieu Emerges From Cold Spell With Homer
New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, and a double to help the team beat the San Diego Padres 3-2 in extra innings on Saturday. The 34-year-old was hitting just .133 (4-for-30) with a lone RBI and no extra-base knocks over his last eight games before going deep in this one. That lack of power is not exactly characteristic of a typical cleanup batter, a role which LeMahieu has been handling regularly for the last month. Expect the contact hitter's spot in the lineup to alter in some way once slugger Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) comes off the injured list. LeMahieu admittedly owns a healthy 49.2% hard-hit rate overall, but at the cost of striking out (26.3% rate) more than he ever has in his career.

Thu Apr 20 202314:02DJ LeMahieu Batting Fifth Once Again Thursday
New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu is in the starting lineup for Thursday's contest against the Los Angeles Angels. He's playing third base and batting fifth. It's LeMahieu's fourth start in a row from the five spot after beginning the season as the primary leadoff hitter. The 34-year-old is having a decent campaign thus far through 14 games, slashing .245/.322/.472 with a pair of long balls, 10 runs, and six RBI. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried about his new spot in the batting order with the Yankees potent offense, but it will likely affect his run production.
