DJ LeMahieu's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (hip) is encouraged about how his hip is feeling and expects to start doing baseball activities over the next few days to try and put himself in a position to be ready for the American League Division Series. The Yankees won the American League East division on Thursday evening and will now have a bye for the wild-card round of the postseason, giving LeMahieu some extra time to heal. "I don't know if they'll use me or not, but I'm definitely gonna try to be available," LeMahieu said. The 36-year-old veteran infielder hasn't played since early September due to a right-hip impingement and could be left off the playoff roster even if he's ready to go by the start of the ALDS. LeMahieu has battled injuries during a frustrating 2024 season and has hit just .204 (41-for-201) with two homers and 26 RBI.

The New York Yankees placed infielder DJ LeMahieu (hip) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to Sept. 6) on Monday with a right-hip impingement and recalled outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move. It was time for the Yankees to make the move since LeMahieu hadn't played for the team since last Tuesday. The 36-year-old veteran had picked up hits in each of his previous five games before getting hurt, but he's still hitting just .204/.269/.259 with a .527 OPS, two home runs, 26 RBI and 19 runs scored in only 201 at-bats on the year for the Yanks. LeMahieu hasn't been very healthy in 2024 and hasn't delivered when he's been on the field. When he returns from the IL, he'll be a bench player for the Yankees to close out the year and in the postseason with Jazz Chisholm Jr. entrenched at third base.

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (face) is back in the starting lineup on Sunday for the series finale against the Colorado Rockies at Yankee Stadium, playing first base and batting ninth against Rockies left-hander Austin Gomber. LeMahieu had to be scratched from the series opener on Friday after he was hit in the face by a ball during pre-game warmups. The 36-year-old didn't play on Saturday but was cleared from the league's concussion protocol, allowing him to return on Sunday. The matchup against Gomber is a nice one, but it's hard to recommend LeMahieu to any DFS gamers the way he's been hitting this year, especially at the bottom of the lineup. He has only had 185 at-bats in 2024 and is batting just .189/.263/.249 with two homers, 24 RBI and 16 runs scored. LeMahieu is getting the nod at first with rookie Ben Rice sitting against the southpaw.

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu's (head) condition has improved and he has passed the league's concussion protocols, according to manager Aaron Boone, but he's not in the starting lineup on Saturday at Yankee Stadium against the Colorado Rockies. Jazz Chisholm Jr., who returned from the injured list on Friday, will start at the hot corner and will bat fifth against Rockies right-hander Bradley Blalock. LeMahieu was scratched from Friday's lineup after being hit in the face by a ball during pre-game warmups. The 36-year-old appears to have avoided a concussion, though, and should be considered day-to-day. There's a chance he'll return to action for Sunday's series finale against Colorado in the Bronx. It's been a pretty dismal year for LeMahieu, as he's hitting just .189 (35-for-185) with two homers and 24 RBI, and the return of Chisholm doesn't bode well for his playing time going forward.

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu made his first start in nearly a week on Wednesday. The veteran slugger certainly made his presence known during his game. LeMahieu connected on a second-inning grand slam to open up the scoring. The 36-year-old would later add on two more runs with a double in the sixth inning. It was a 2-for-4 game with six RBI as LeMahieu was all the offense for his team on Wednesday. LeMahieu has been pretty awful all season long but maybe this is a sign of good things to come.
