• Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Goes deep Sunday

  Rotowire Jun 9, 2025

  LeMahieu went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to Boston on Sunday. LeMahieu gave New York a one-run lead with a solo shot in the fifth inning, but Boston responded with five runs in the following frame. The long ball was LeMahieu's second of the campaign and his first since May 17. The veteran infielder is slashing a modest .258/.333/.371 on the campaign, though he's been swinging a hot bat since the start of the month, going 9-for-21 (.429 average) with six RBI over six games so far in June.

  LeMahieu isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game versus Cleveland.

• Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Four hits in win

  Rotowire Jun 1, 2025

  LeMahieu went 4-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Dodgers. LeMahieu had one of his best games of the season, which included knocking in a run with a single in the fifth and another RBI on a ninth-inning double. The veteran infielder's big game lifted his average from .171 to .239 over 15 contests this season. He's added a home run, five RBI, two runs scored and no stolen bases over 51 plate appearances. LeMahieu is seeing a majority of the playing time at second base, but he occasionally cedes some at-bats versus right-handed pitchers to Jorbit Vivas. Oswald Peraza will also be a threat to LeMahieu's playing time at the keystone once Jazz Chisholm (oblique) returns, likely as the starting third baseman.

• Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Snaps skid with three-hit effort

  Rotowire May 25, 2025

  LeMahieu went 3-for-5 with a run and an RBI in Saturday's 13-1 rout of the Rockies. New York charged up its offense against the team with MLB's worst record, and LeMahieu got in on the action with his first three-hit performance of the season. It was a much-needed breakthrough for the veteran infielder, who entered Saturday having gone hitless over his previous four games. Since making his season debut May 13 following a lengthy stay on the injured list, LeMahieu has gone 7-for-26 (.269 batting average) with a home run, three RBI, two runs and a 3:4 BB:K.

Jorbit Vivas is covering the keystone and Oswald Peraza is at the hot corner.

• Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Pops first homer

  Rotowire May 17, 2025

  LeMahieu went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Mets. In his third game since recovering from calf and hip injuries to make his belated season debut, LeMahieu was able to poke a Griffin Canning fastball down the right-field line into the Yankee Stadium short porch for a third-inning homer, and his first long ball of the year. The 36-year-old infielder has three hits in eight at-bats since being activated, and he should see regular playing time at second base while Jazz Chisholm (oblique) remains sidelined.

• Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Activated Tuesday

  Rotowire May 13, 2025

  LeMahieu (calf/hip) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game in Seattle. LeMahieu will switch spots with Oswaldo Cabrera (fractured ankle), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. LeMahieu should serve as the Yankees' primary third baseman in the short term, but at 36 and coming off three straight years of declining production, he may not be able to hold the job indefinitely. He hit .204 with a .269 OBP, two home runs and zero steals in 228 plate appearances last year, although he did log a 1.093 OPS on his rehab assignment, thanks in part to a .500 BABIP.

• Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Expected to be activated Tuesday

  Rotowire May 12, 2025

  LeMahieu (calf/hip) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports. LeMahieu is set to join the Yankees after missing the entirety of the 2025 season to this point while recovering from a left calf strain and a right hip issue. The 36-year-old had seen most of his starts at third base and first base over the previous two seasons, but he's expected to step into a regular role at second base initially while Jazz Chisholm (oblique) is on the shelf. Boone suggested that LeMahieu will likely be limited to a bench role Tuesday in Seattle, but LeMahieu is expected to start at the keystone in Wednesday's series finale with the Mariners. LeMahieu struggled to a career-low .204 average while adding two home runs, 26 RBI and 19 runs over 201 at-bats in 67 games with New York in 2024.

• Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Not activated from IL yet

  Rotowire May 12, 2025

  LeMahieu (calf) was not activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game in Seattle, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports. LeMahieu has joined the Yankees in Seattle, but the team hasn't put him on the active roster just yet. That could come as soon as Tuesday. LeMahieu has been shelved all season with a calf strain and more recently a hip issue.

• Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Joining team in Seattle

  Rotowire May 12, 2025

  LeMahieu (calf) is slated to join the Yankees for the start of their series Monday in Seattle, Erik Boland of Newsday reports. The team has not confirmed that LeMahieu will be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of the series opener, but it seems likely that he will be on the active roster. LeMahieu has been out all season with a calf strain and more recently a hip issue, but he's healthy now. The 36-year-old has gone 12-for-27 with one home run and a 4:3 K:BB over nine rehab games and could be the Yankees' primary second baseman while Jazz Chisholm (oblique) is sidelined.

• Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Could be activated later this week

  Rotowire May 6, 2025

  Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that LeMahieu (calf/hip) could be activated from the 10-day injured list later this week after playing two more rehab games, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports. LeMahieu has moved his rehab assignment up to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and will play for the affiliate Tuesday and Wednesday before the Yankees decide whether to have him join them on their road trip that begins Friday. The veteran infielder initially landed on the IL due to a calf strain but more recently dealt with a hip injury. However, he's healthy now, and his season debut with the big club looks imminent. LeMahieu could take over as the Yankees' primary second baseman while Jazz Chisholm (oblique) is sidelined.

• Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Second base likelier than third

  Rotowire May 5, 2025

  Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that second base is "more in play" than third base for LeMahieu (calf/hip) when LeMahieu returns from the 10-day injured list, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports. The Yankees have more of a need now at second base, at least in the short term, with Jazz Chisholm (oblique) expected to be sidelined until June. LeMahieu briefly paused a rehab assignment at Double-A Somerset last week when he developed a hip issue in addition to his calf injury, but he returned to action over the weekend. All six of LeMahieu's starts so far for Somerset have come at second base. Jorbit Vivas is starting at the keystone Monday for the third time in four games, but he could be sent back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre when LeMahieu returns. LeMahieu is expected to require "not too many more" rehab games before being activated, Boone said Monday.

• Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Resuming rehab assignment Friday

  Rotowire Apr 30, 2025

  Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Wednesday that the hope is for LeMahieu (calf/hip) to resume his rehab assignment Friday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports. LeMahieu was shut down from his rehab assignment Tuesday after receiving a cortisone injection in his right hip, but he is on track to resume his assignment with Double-A Somerset on Friday. He was placed on the 10-day injured list at the beginning of the season due to a left calf strain that he suffered in early March. How LeMahieu's calf and hip react over the next few rehab games will determine his timeline for a return to the majors.

• Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Continuing rehab assignment

  Rotowire Apr 26, 2025

  LeMahieu (calf) will continue his rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Saturday and Sunday, MLB.com reports. The veteran infielder has gone 3-for-5 with a homer and a double through his first two rehab games, and he'll likely spend another week or two building up in the minors since the calf injury sidelined him for nearly all of spring training. LeMahieu will stick at the Double-A level through the weekend but could then continue the assignment at Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes/Barre.

• Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Cleared for rehab assignment

  Rotowire Apr 18, 2025

  LeMahieu (calf) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports. LeMahieu has been playing in extended spring training contests and is ready to test things out in a formal game setting. He will require a lengthy rehab assignment, perhaps needing the full 20-day allotment. Oswaldo Cabrera has been serving as the Yankees' primary third baseman with LeMahieu out and there's no guarantee that LeMahieu will be handed regular playing time upon his return.

• Yankees' DJ LeMahieu: Will need full buildup

  Rotowire Apr 16, 2025

  LeMahieu (calf) is logging at-bats at the Yankees' minor-league complex and will need a buildup of game activity that replicates a full spring training, MLB.com reports. LeMahieu was injured during his second at-bat during spring training, so it makes sense that the Yankees want him to log what manager Aaron Boone termed "a pretty big buildup." The veteran infielder isn't yet playing in games, and it's not clear when he will be ready to begin a minor-league rehab assignment. LeMahieu could eventually reclaim a starting role at the hot corner for New York, though Oswaldo Cabrera has done a decent job so far this season in his stead, slashing .278/.333/.278 with four RBI and four runs but with no extra-base hits.
