DJ LEMAHIEU NEWS

Not starting series finale LeMahieu is out of the lineup for Sunday night's game versus the Red Sox.

Impact LeMahieu is 1-for-5 with a solo homer and two walks through the first two games of the season and will receive the day off Sunday. The veteran infielder started at second base Opening Day and at the hot corner Saturday, and he figures to continue moving between the positions with Gleyber Torres also in the mix. Torres will start at the keystone in Sunday's series finale.

Hits Opening Day home run LeMahieu went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and a walk in Friday's 6-5 win over the Red Sox.

Impact LeMahieu was retired in two of his first three plate appearances of the year, but he blasted a game-tying homer with one out in the bottom of the eighth inning to help lead the Yankees to the win. The 33-year-old is fully healthy after he underwent surgery to repair a sports hernia in October, and he figures to see plenty of playing time in 2022 as the Yankees' primary second baseman.

Fully healthy after surgery LeMahieu said Thursday that he's fully healthy again following October surgery to repair a sports hernia, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact LeMahieu noted that he's been able to take batting practice for much of the winter, so getting his timing back at the plate shouldn't be much of an issue once the lockout ends and the Yankees are able to reconvene for workouts. After posting a career-best 1.011 OPS during the 60-game 2020 campaign, LeMahieu took a major step back in the slugging department in 2021, posting an .094 ISO. He was at least able to maintain his strong eye at the plate, walking in a career-best 10.9 percent of his plate appearances while striking out a modest 13.8 percent of the time.

MLB lockout has Yanks in dark on players coming off surgery

Undergoes sports hernia surgery LeMahieu underwent surgery to repair a sports hernia Tuesday but is expected to be ready for spring training, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Impact LeMahieu missed time in the final week of the regular season with the injury and wound up being placed on the injured list. While the issue was serious enough to require surgery, it's at least well-timed and gives LeMahieu plenty of time to rest and recover over the offseason. If all goes well, he'll be unaffected by the start of the regular season, but there's always going to be at least some risk with a 33-year-old coming off an offseason procedure.
