Filling short-side platoon role LeMahieu will start at first base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Impact After being held out of the lineup for each of the last four games, LeMahieu will draw back into the starting nine for the series finale in Philadelphia. He'll be filling in at first base for the left-handed-hitting Ben Rice, who takes a seat while the Phillies send lefty Cristopher Sanchez to the hill. LeMahieu looks like he'll have to settle for a short-side platoon role moving forward while he's slashed just .194/.279/.255 against right-handed pitching so far this season.

Belts first homer of season LeMahieu went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Monday in a 9-1 win against Tampa Bay.

Impact LeMahieu is in the midst of a career-worst campaign that has not only threatened to take him out of an everyday role but also pushed him down to the No. 9 slot in the lineup Monday. The veteran may have bought himself a little more leeway with his fifth-inning solo shot against the Rays. It was his first long ball of the campaign and his first hit of any sort over his past seven contests. Despite Monday's glimmer of hope, LeMahieu is still slashing a paltry .181/.276/.228 through 146 plate appearances on the campaign.

On bench Sunday LeMahieu is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

Impact The veteran infielder has a .472 OPS through 39 games this season and is hitting .154 with one extra-base hit in 39 at-bats during July. According to Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News, manager Aaron Boone said "we'll see" when asked about the possibility of this being a multi-game absence for LeMahieu.

Taking seat Sunday LeMahieu is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Impact LeMahieu took a seat for Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Rays after he was hit by a pitch on his left pinkie finger Wednesday, but he was back in the lineup for the first two games of the Yankees' series in Baltimore. After going hitless in eight at-bats between Friday and Saturday, LeMahieu will hit the bench Sunday for what appears to be a maintenance day heading into the All-Star break. Oswaldo Cabrera will replace LeMahieu at third base.

Back in lineup Friday LeMahieu is starting at third base and leading off for the Yankees on Friday.

Impact LeMahieu was held out of Thursday's contest after he was hit by a pitch on his left pinkie finger and later fouled a ball off his neck Wednesday. A CT scan on his neck came back clean, so Thursday's absence was likely precautionary. LeMahieu has hit .417 (5-for-12) over his past four games.

Halts slump with two hits LeMahieu went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Impact LeMahieu entered the game mired in a 6-for-42 (.143) slump but collected a couple of base hits, each of which brought in a run, while also adding just his second extra-base hit of the campaign. Despite being unable to find his footing at the plate, LeMahieu, who raised his season average to .188 thanks to Sunday's effort, has maintained a regular role in the Yankee lineup since returning from the IL in late May due to a fractured foot.
