The injuries go up for New York Yankees. The DJ Lemahieu inner field player will miss at least one “a few weeks” with a left-wing veal tension of Grade 1 or 2, he told journalists on Thursday (via Newsday). An exact calendar will be determined once he meets team physicians. Lemahieu suffered the injury during his second at-bat last Saturday during his beginnings in the spring.
“I wanted to come this spring and prove that I am in good health, and I did not go the warmest with that,” said Lemahieu on Saturday (via Northjersey.com). “… It’s not something major, but it’s likely to be a little. I can’t put chronology on it.”
Lemahieu, 36, was limited to 67 games last season by a broken foot at the start of the year and an impact of the hip at the end of the year. When he played, he was one of the least effective players in baseball, reducing .204 / .269 / .259 with almost twice as many double games (13) as additional successes (seven). This increased to a war of less than 1.6, one of the worst notes in the game.
Given his terrible 2024, the Yankees may not miss Lemahieu during his calf injury, although it was another injury to a team that suffered several this spring. Here are the injured on foot from New York:
All except Effrosss and maybe Brubaker were locks to list New York’s opening day. Marcus Stroman will slip into the rotation to replace Gil after To say that he would not present the enclosure of the lifters earlier this spring. Yankees are likely to rotate players through the DH spot during the absence of Stanton. This list spot could go to the first basic / recipient player Ben Rice.
Lemahieu was ostensibly being part of the team’s third basis competition, although it is unlikely to be a full -time player. With Lemahieu, Oswaldo Cabrera and Oswald Peraza should manage the hot corner. Peraza is a right -wing striker and Cabrera is a switch that is much better against right -handers, which makes them natural peloton partners.
This is the fifth year of the $ 90 million contract over six years from Lemahieu. Originally, he joined the Yankees on a contract of $ 24 million over two years in January 2019. This agreement was a broken success – Lemahieu implemented 8.3 war and finished the first four of the MVP voted for two years. During the first four years of the six -year contract, he was 7.8 war.
The Yankees went 94-68 last season and lost the World Series against Los Angeles Dodgers.
